I'm not an expert on smaller cars, so I'd like some input for a buddy of mine.
He currently owns a 2001 Chevy Malibu with over 200k miles. Its a bit rusty, has some other issues including a coolant leak which I believe is the intake gaskets common on this engine.
Hes looking for a newer car, he doesn't want to go over $16,000. He'd like a 4 door, good gas mileage "sporty" car. He mentioned a hatch back as well. He'd like something reliable, and he isn't the best on maintenance. I'm thinking maybe a Toyota or Scion, or maybe a Honda.
Any input?
