My first thought is a Toyota Echo/Yaris or Scion xA. You'd have to add in a radio with bluetooth or pandora/spotify. They're zippy due to their low weight. and if you want more power, there's decent aftermarket support. trd toyota echo

Recently got a 2011 Ford escape XLT I4 4x4, fully optioned, for $5k. 84k miles. Comfy leather interior, Bluetooth, decent mpg, not as slow as some econoboxes, lots of space. Yes I got a deal on it but if you can find one in your price range it's a nice DD

>echo/yaris They're small and fuel efficient, but the interior varies from bland to disgusting, the engines sound awful, and they look pretty gross. Not comfy at all.
Anthony Thompson
Really easy. The 1.3 has 86hp, which is more than enough to burn tires at a stoplight.
Not suited for long rides, but perfect commuters. Will not let you down.

>Not comfy at all. depends on the suspension. standard suspension is pretty comfy. The TRD suspension is a lot stiffer though.
Jeremiah Rogers
I was talking "comfy", not just a comfortable ride.
Have you considered Mitsu Lancers? The newer models are really nice to drive.
Austin Carter
given that he said truck, you can assume OP is American. The first gen Yaris was sold as a sedan/coupe called the Echo. And they came only with the 105 HP 1.5L. The Coupe was American and Canadian market only (Canada had the coupe from 2000 to 2002) while Japan and Australia also got the sedan.
Xavier Bell
So they had the worst versions. The 1.3L is the best. After about thirty minutes the engine is warmed up, changes sound and the vvt-i kicks in. And all the maintenance you need to do is fill up with petrol.

03-09 accords can be has for this price. Leather interior is comfy and there are lots of available tech options. Stay away from auto v6 as they had some issues. Decent power and reliability. Huge aftermarket support
