its an easy reply to say get a Honda or Toyota but in your price range CONDITION becomes the main factor, Mfg, Model, Year and Miles takes the back seat.
Testing a vehicle in your price range knowing what your doing is what its all about, when you find a vehicle you may consider, go to this webpage and follow the steps http://www.usedcartips.org/testdri.html... from there navigate to the main page and learn a few steps how to buy a used car...$ 5G's is a fair chunk a little homework on your part lessens the fear having a lemon in your driveway, good luck.

You are looking at 2 very different vehicles. The Millenia was a nice enough car. They handled well, and were well put together. At one time is was Mazda's flagship. They never really sold all that well, and depreciation was really steep. Interior room was also not considered a strong suit. I would stay away from the S version. The 2.3 V6 miller stroke motor employed a supercharger to produce 210 or so hp. And if not properly maintained, it is all but gauranteed to give you significant problems. The Base versions were reliable enough, and the 2.5V6 was spirited enough for most drivers.
As far as the Jeep goes, I would not get one, no matter what the price or which one it is. Especially an AWD Grand Cherokee with the V8. All Jeeps are of course great off road, but they just are not very well built or reliable. With all their off road ability, on road driving tends to suffer. They handle and ride poorly, suck gas and tend to be noisy. Being your first car, you probably will be a lot more forgiving. All things being the same, they are not reliable vehicles. There are few things more annoying than having to put the car in the shop and bum rides.
In your price range:
1998+ Altima
1998 Accord
1998 Civic
1998 Acura TL/CL

If you like Jeeps, any Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee, or Grand Cherokee is worth looking at as long as it has the 4.0L 6 cylinder engine. These are VERY reliable. You should be able to get a nice Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee in the $6000 price range. The Wrangler will be older and rougher for the same money. Other than the Jeeps, just about any Toyota will do. A lot of people will pump Honda (which are reliable) but Toyotas are usually easier and a little cheaper to work on.

If you buy either of those, you won't be able to handle the insurance plus the payments and tickets. You better go for a late model Honda or Toyota, and when you are over 25, then buy the vehicle you really want when your insurance payments are lower.

any of the small Japanese cars, or small single cab pick up with a 4 cyl motor,.. or a Ford focus.. at $3.00+ for a gallon of gas you can't afford to drive a full size truck or Jeep... they are thirsty.
