Check out the new Toyota Yaris, Chevy Cobalt, Mazda 3.
It is stated in the web site below that some car dealers
offer new 2005 models that are much more economical.

The ford focas can also be a good buy, but one with a ten year/100,000 mile warranty with good to excellent safety
testings are the best! I priced your range a little under your budget range to allow for an add on or two, taxes, plates,
and partial 4 year insurance. When talking to a car dealer,
give your price range as $12,000 to $14,000 or ask for the specific car you'd like to see (such as an unused 2005 model). They will most likely talk you into $1,000 to $2000.
over your price range. (As for myself, for average mileage,
and loading capability, I loved the Pontiac Vibe!)
Some of the best: Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda3 .
Make a checklist for pricing, miles per gallon, and test drive for comfort. Keep your notepad with you, and you'll have a reliable car!

i heard good things about the ford focus it's an economy car, good on gas and has lots of room, the best thing is this cars motor is not actually built by ford.
stay away from dodge or plymouth neons, or chevy cobalts they have lots of problems in the long run.and the resail is harrible.mitsubishi is another product to stay away from some may look nice but my friend just gave away an eclypse 2002 not running and was well maintained, just as an example.
also try jettas by voltswaggon these are dependable cars.

Subaru Impreza (with your budget, not a WRX model though).
Great car for the money.
