This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

I've got a not-so-hot budget and I've been looking at the 2017 Chevy Spark. I know it's a clown car, but I've heard that it got a passable safety rating, a rarity for the compact market. The $10k pricetag is about right, too. Has anyone heard anything good or bad regarding this year's Spark?

Is there any reason you aren't shopping used cars with that budget?

I had considered a few of the earlier sedans, but the monthly payment they showed me was fairly reasonable and the 10 year warranty was really enticing.

One caveat I forgot to mention is I have to stick with Chevy; I've got family willing to kick in a bit on the condition it's Chevy.

Anyone want to ballpark how much I should expect to pay for a 2015 Chevy Malibu LS Fleet with 41k miles on it? I've already been told in thread I'm an idiot once, so I'll just sit down and shut up.

Proposed Budget: 14k
New or Used: Used/Cert.
Body Style: Compact
How will you be using the car?: Commuting
What aspects are most important to you? reliability, MPG, and cost of ownership/maintenance - in that order.

I've seen a few recent model (past three years) Kia Souls around the 11k price point, what else should I look for and avoid?
