New: Mitsubishi Mirage or Nissan Versa. They’re A-B vehicles, they’ll last you a decent amount of time before they break down. I know Nissan and Mitsubishi both have that “we’ll finance to anyone no matter what your credit score is” type payment plans.

If you’re looking used, try and find a Camry or a corolla. I drive a ‘98 Corolla and I get roughly 25mpg. The most expensive thing I’ve ever had done to it in terms of repair (not including maintenance) was replacing a power steering hose which cost me $60 for the part at 100k miles.

The Mitsubishi Mirage is really cool because it is actually a 3cylinder engine, which is pretty rare for the us. It’s probably not ideal if you ever need it repaired because I would imagine the parts are hard to come by, but it would certainly get incredible gas mileage

Parts wouldn’t be an issue for a car that’s widely sold. If it was a one off variant like a diesel version of it that’s rarely sold in the us, then yeah.
