Car Question

[catlady]

I have a car question...
I know nothing about cars and my husband has to get a new car, doesn't have to be brand new but newer. So which brands/makes are under $18,000 when they are brand new? I am trying to find a used car for under $8,000 since we are going to be getting a house soon, we don't wanna spend a ton of money on a car. I found some 2011 Ford Focus' for under $8,000 but he doesn't really care for them that much. He's not into cars but he wants a car that isn't girly or too small.

Hyundai Santa Fe is a small SUV, isn't too bad on gas, and shouldn't be too expensive used.

Focus's are good. Good on fuel and well built.

Either a Focus or Renault Megane (if they do them in the US.) Family had a megane for about 4 year, got 50mpg most times and it was solid.
I prefer the new version for the looks, but if looks isn't all it's about then: http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/renault-megane-207101023706181600x1060.jpg

The older ones are just as good: http://cars-database.com/data_images/models/renault-megane/renault-megane-01.jpg
