Anyone recommend good makes or models of card around this age? Something reliable with little maintenance.
Thinking Ford focus/fiesta or Honda civic atm.
What other models tend to be quite reliable.

Honda diesel Mercedes diesel Hyundai diesel Kia diesel I've got a 2013 petrol Kia (they basically don't sell diesel here). Got a recall notice for some bollocks but it's not a big deal. It's taken me through snow and 45 C desert heat no bother. 👍 |

Honda diesel Mercedes diesel Hyundai diesel Kia diesel Just bought a Mercedes CLS 350 shooting brake. I know the upkeep will be a bit higher than my Beemer but it’s a stunning car. Just nervous to use the self park 😰 |

Mazda3, Hyundai i30, Volvo c30
Regarding Fords, avoid the Ecoboost engines as they have problems with their wet belts - 'Ford Ecoboost Nightmare' page on Facebook has 16k members so that tells me to steer clear.
Wouldn't discount Renaults or Citroens, past 2010 the electics were sorted out and they're generally cheap to run and fix. (Citroen C1 was the most reliable car on the market in 2014).

Carmax is a huge second hand car chain that has 50k petrol cars for sale ATM. They have three sub-$20k diesels in California. 2 big SUVs and a truck. |
