Ok guys and gals my Daughter has finally grown out of her Lowrider GMC and now we are on the hunt for a solid reliable Car with a budget of 10K.
We are gonna go look at a 13 Hyundai Velostar today but I would like to hear what you guys think.
What does the community say?
Thanks in advance.

A coworker has a Velostar Turbo, and that thing is friggen' fast. Might not be the best bet for a young driver.
I would look at something in a sedan, safety is key. Cant go wrong with a Honda or Toyota.

There is no such thing as a reliable car!! They are all a pile of shit. Anything with nuts n bolts is a pile of shit. Some folks just get lucky for several thousand miles, that's all!

Something big and slow is always good for a new driver. I got my son a used escalade. It is still going strong at 130k

Pretty sure Dana still has a nice Mazda for sale. If I needed a 4th car I would be all over it. Be a great little commuter, or everyday car for a younger person it seems like.

A case of Keystone Light tallboys would be a sufficient broker fee, since were friends and all.

Used Honda Civic that's been maintained should last you to at least 250k miles

The man needs/said reliable. He said nothing about needing a car that leaks like an old English Motorcycle.
