<prompt> Human: In around a year I would like to start looking for a car to commute to work. Im looking for a what I like to think of as the ultimate commuter car. What I mean by that is that it doesnt have to be flashy, or have a luxury interior, but has to be a comfortable car that gets good gas mileage, is reliable, has four doors, cheap to maintain, and will last for years. Id like something under 8000. I figured this was a good place to ask this.Edit: thanks for the replies.  <response>: There are loads of high quality used cars in that price range. Just make sure your payment isnt more than 10-12 of your net monthly income.
