Mazda, Toyota, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, Ford.

Pick a model (sedan, hatch, suv) you like and shop across brands in that range.

Kia Sonata is worth a look.

Honda Accord four door.

Toyota Camry.

Personally, I'd go Camry.

camry is much bigger inside than accord - accord is more sporty and camry is more room for the babies

I was looking at reliability ratings on JDPower. Subaru got pretty low scores... I thought those things lasted forever? Is this not true anymore?

Also, if you don't need a new car then get a used one, two years old and drive it for a decade.

Passat tdi. $26k sticker with the manual trans. A4 looks and space for accord money and 40+mpg and great resale value. Cop an extended warranty and it will take you through your associate career.

You pay more for the diesel version. You'd have to drive a shitton for 10 years to make that back in fuel savings
