Looking for the best option for a friend, the car is in garage at night, near sea at day, and should be low cost maintenance. Until now she drives Toyota Yaris, quite good.

Any small car will do fine.
Chevy Cobalt
Ford Focus
Dodge Neon
Or about any foreign car with a 4 cylinder engine

Stick with a Toyota or go with Honda. Just choose a lesser expensive (entry level) model, quality is still there but you aren't paying for the 'bells and whistles' or 'toys' that drive the price up. I also recommend your friend take a good look at Suzuki, Mitsubshi, Kia and Hyundai.... all those have a great track record and the best new car warranty in the industry, therefore making any of those those a wise choice and giving the consumer the 'best bang for the buck'. Some makes now even include regularly scheduled maintenance in the warranty for FREE! If your friend will need 4 wheel drive then go with Suburu (much better for driving in snow, sugar sand etc)

Pickup a copy of Consumer Reports annual auto buying info book at a book store or library--it has loads of info on what cars are rated well for mileage, safety and repairs.
