^ I'm strangely drawn to that last car (#14), but I've heard that Cadillac Devilles are real 'gas guzzlers', not sure if it's true.



So anyway, if anyone could tell me what the overall best car of the bunch is and why, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!Are any of these good first cars to own?
I'll answer a long post with another long post.



First of all, most of those vehicles seem like only fair deals. I'm currently looking for a car for a family member with a $5,000 budget, and many of these seem a little shaky.



To break the list down a little bit, I'd say go for the Honda Civic (#7). It has the fewest miles and still doesn't cost too much. On the other hand, I haven't seen the car, so I don't know what kind of shape it's in.



To make this a little easier, I would say set yourself some better standards. First off, I noticed all these cars are $4,000 or less, so I'm assuming your budget is $4,000. You can look for cars at this website:



http://www.autotrader.com



where you just have to limit your search to your price range and the distance you're willing to travel to look for a car.



With a $4,000 budget, you should be able to find a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles on it. Your best bet would be a used compact or midsize, as they have a nice balance between gas mileage, power, and size. Look for one of these models from the late 1990s:
