Skyactiv for the extra gas mileage.

The Suzuki SX4 has gotten some pretty good press recently as being less expensive, but well built.

Honda Fit.

Because its all the car 95% of the population are ever going to need. MSRP on them is right around $15K, and Im sure theres some still around on inventory lots from last year that they'll blow out for way cheaper!
I talked my folks into getting one and its been great, no one ever says "I wish I never bought that Honda, what a lemon!"
