There is no fund to drive, cheap, reliable, economic 4 door sedan. Could have been if BMW built a 1 Series Sedan or 2 Series GranCoupé.

Merc CLA would probably do it if you took the Reliable part out.

Sorry, reviving my older thread. I haven't bought anything yet. What do you guys think of the new body style 2013+ Altima? I can get a 2013 with 30k miles for like $17k, seems like it would be a good car to put a billion miles on. I drove it and was happy with it, Jetta TDI drove nicer but the VW forums turned me off as far as reliability goes.

Buddy of mine got a Chevy Cruze RS...pretty nice car for the money. I think he paid $24k for it (CDN). Very nicely equipped, basically a full load minus leather. He puts over 50k a year on, so the small displacement turbo 4 was a good choice. I think he's got over 60k on it now, no issues to date.
