Used Cars under $10,000?

Question

So, I'm going to be shopping for a good used car that will last me 3-4 years (or more) around Jan/Feb timeframe.   So my question is, is there a vehicle that you have that you love?  Why?  One that you hate? Why?  I'm looking for something reliable, but also sporty and comfortable for two school age children.  And I have the budget constraint.  I feel 10k gives me some flexibility, however it rules out certain options.  Thanks.

Best bets for reliable used cars under $10,000.00:  Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Sentra, Ford Taurus, and Subaru Outback.  The Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla are smaller vehicles with outstanding gas mileage.  The others have gas mileage around 25 mpg or higher.

All of these cars all get high marks for reliability and value, according to Consumer Reports Magazine.  They vary widely in styling, comfort, and amenities.  Look among these models for a balance of safety features and something that is fun to drive.

10,000 dollars can really give you a nice deal in many types of cars.
Do you like luxury, SUVs, sports cars? I think you would be good in a Cadillac Deville. NOT the new one, but the old ones go pretty cheap and you'll be satisfied for 4+ years.

I have a VW new beetle and it's great.  I bought it for $8000, and it's in great condition still, no problems.  I'm planning on keeping it for many more years.  The back seats still work for kids too.  And it's adorable!
