I've always been a fan of those cars, especially the V40 wagon version. However, they are probably not the most reliable cars out there.
And there are so many better cars you could get for $6000! You could probably get a TSX for about the same price. All the luxury and prestige, plus legendary Honda reliability.
If you want something with a little luxury, get a TSX, G35, or IS300.
If you want a basic economy car, get an Echo or Yaris (or a Scion xA or xB)
What specific things are you looking for in your next car? And what is your budget?
