Default Car for about 14k??

I'm a college student in Georgia and I'm thinking about getting my first car....what do you reccomend....I test drove a spec V but a little out of my price range....I dont want anything too old , rather something reliable as this is my first car and my family dont live in the states.

Thanks
V

Nissan Maxima is really nice! Up to 2003 it came with a 3.0 L V6-222 hp, and the new ones have 3.5 L V6-280 hp. I'd say get a 2002 Maxima. They're very reliable, and decently fast!

Get a 944 like the guy above said. If you want a new car, don't get a Toyota, never!!!

944 is only an option if you can buy it for $6,000, then stash away the remaining $8,000 for the inevitable work to get it running right/repairs/maintenance.
