One of the best used cars!
http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/auto...VkLWxlbW9ucw--
"Subaru Impreza
If you're looking for a distinctive design or thrills on the road, the Impreza probably isn't your first choice. But critics say the car is a safe choice, literally and figuratively. Writers praise the Impreza's secure dynamics with standard all-wheel drive, and highlight the safety features and strong safety scores from the federal government and insurance industry. J.D. Power and Associates lists the 2006 Subie Impreza as a top pick in its 2009 Vehicle Dependability Survey. Although Cars.com reports the 2009 Impreza has one of the best resale values (which means finding one that's used and cheap could be a challenge), Edmunds suggests an Impreza made between 1998 and 2001 as one of the best used cars for those on a tighter budget. "We found high-mileage (150,000-plus) 2.5RS models starting at around $4,500 on Auto Trader," they report. There's an even better deal in U.S. News' used car listings: a 1999 Impreza with 98,746 miles for only $3,995."
The Impreza finally gets noticed in a positive way!

Uh, that article comes up with the number 1 used car as a Honda Civic and the number 3 the Toyota Prius.
I personally don't care for the Civic, it's kind of cheap. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I haven't in the past cared much for the basic Honda line, especially the Civics.
I like the engineering in the Prius engine design, but I hate the finished product - I rented one and the only other modern cars that I think are worse, is the Civic hybrid and the stupid Hyundai Accent. My job requires me to travel, so I end up renting several times a year.

The civic is cheap but it was probably a contributing factor in making it to this list. The car also doesn't seem to die. A number of my class mates drive 'em, barely do any maintenance and they're still running like champs.
