Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and or Honda Accord........3-4 years old, probably still under drivetrain warranty. Credit unions finance them 3,4 or even 5 years which brings payment down. I've seen them at carmaxx and some dealers under 16k. The accord might cost more.
Ive had two Nissan Altimas over a period of years, rock solid and probably should have kept them. But u know car people can be

I'd vote Honda, previous generation Civic. The 2016 redesign is a lot nicer from a extra feature standpoint and bigger but will be above the price range you are shooting for.

Yeah sounds like you're looking for a last generation Civic.... which is a pretty good choice actually.
Personally though I'd pony up a bit more and get into the current generation Civic. The current generation went through some dramatic changes, most all for the better, and there's a good chunk of trims in the four door that are all pretty affordable sans a Type R obviously. Lower trim LX sedans frequently dip sub $20K - I have a friend that got into an '18 that's as base as base can get for $18K - but you have to get on a deal and likely haggle. Driving brand new with a brand new car warranty would sway me.

Toyota Camry or even an older Avalon. Absolutely bulletproof. Hondas are excellent as well, but are more complex and shorter lived on average. As a mechanic and a car guy, I can tell you, Camry's aren't real exiting, but you won't have any or much down time with one, either.

I'll give a vote for the 4cyl Accord. My son has 2006 model and it has been really solid. I had a 2003 CR-V before that and the engine is basically the same and it had almost 230k on the clock when an accident totaled it out. Hard to go wrong with Honda or Toyota in that price range.
