More criteria needed. For example, he may have cargo needs (he likes to go camping, surfing, offroading or he needs to drive around a few passengers), or he is going to college in an area with cold winters (so FWD or AWD preferred), etc.
Thanks a lot, dad.

I have agree that the hyundais are priced aggressively and they have a stellar warranty. I also agree that if you can stick to a new car ( if you can). Most people don't dump cars that are in great shape

Yeah he's going to college in the midwest (greater Chicago), so FWD/AWD are definitely plusses.
He's never driven a manual before...
And I would like the car to have the basics like power windows/locks, AC, etc.
Probably shopping used, but I'll check out a new Versa or Hyundai

3rd Generation 4Runner. They ran from 96-02. They had the solid 3.4L motor and are very reliable. You can easily pick up a 4wd for $6K-$8k. Don't be afraid to buy one with more than 100k miles.
