<prompt> Human: 25, living in the southern US. Have never owned a car and am tired of taking Lyft everywhere. I know almost nothing about cars, but from what Ive read, it seems a post-2009 corrolla or kia would be good? Im scared to go to a dealership as a nooby-looking woman buying her first car, but it seems that would be the way to go for peace of mind regarding quality. Also, how much should I expect a used kia or corrolla to cost?I dont care how lame my car is, I just want something dependable and safe.  <response>: If youre going with a car post-2009, a Camry, Corrolla, Accord, or Civic would probably be your top 4 options. I had my 2003 accord until 185k miles and sold it to a friend 2 years ago. According to her, its still running like a dream at over 200k now. Great gas mileage and reliability. Youre probably looking in the 3-6k range for most of these cars, maybe a little more depending on year and mileage.
