Buying a car is such a personal decision. Just cause someone else likes a car doesn't mean that you should (and vice versa).
safe/reliable/cheap - Those terms are somewhat mutually exclusive.
- Nonetheless here's my two cents...
- late models (say 2002 on) Ford Taurus have reasonable reliability, 5-star crash test scores and can be had for close to nothin'. This car is somewhat legendary for cheap miles.
- Japanese cars are probably more reliable but also probably not cheap. Some people think that Japanese cars should be only bought new cause used ones just cost too much.
- I like a previous posters idea of the big SUV's that can be had for not too much these days cause everyone wants to unload them. Maybe an Excursion or a Tahoe would fit the bill.
