Proposed Budget:Under 4k New or Used: Used Body Style: 4 door, smallish hatchback How will you be using the car?: Short commutes What aspects are most important to you? Not being a nightmarish money-pit. I have a 2001 Prius that has all but died on me and the $3500 I was quoted to fix it seems far better spent on something without 200k miles on it. Ideally I'd like something to last for a fair bit without too much fuss, but my lovely job and tiny saving don't give me much to work with; my budget already assumes I don't do anything silly like eat for the next three months.

nm posted:A slightly newer Prius. The next generation was a quantum leap in both quality and being a good car. I know dick all about cars so here are a series of potentially unimportant facts: -It was totaled once already by a heroin addict that stole it; a family member subsequently "had it worked on" before selling it to me -In the past few months the mileage dipped from a consistent ~39 to a consistent ~30. -The check engine light spat out a code that made the two mechanics I took it to say "you need a new engine harness," though a couple people have suggested that "engine harness" is slang for "poo poo's hosed, but I don't feel like figuring out what specifically." This is relevant because thanks to CA smog laws, I can't get this bitch reregistered until it gets sorted out. -It consistently has trouble starting, though it always does in the end.

Are there certain years I should be avoiding in a used Mazda3?
