Suggestions for basic middle of the road sedan?

Anonymous
My DD is getting her license and it is finally time for a second car in the family.

We have a 10yo Sienna that we'll keep for long hauls and piling the whole family in as needed. I'm looking for a a four-door sedan to use primarily for commuting. Budget is up to 40K. I'm not looking for luxury, but do want a comfortable interior. What is the best value for safe, reliable, that will last a while?

(And does it make sense to get a hybrid or electric at this point?)

Accord or Camry if you want something larger. Celica or Corolla is you want something smaller.

Get a used Prius. Low cost of ownership, good safety features, reliable, sips gas sparingly.

+1. But I think pp meant Civic (not Celica). You can't go wrong with them.

If you don't plan to park on the street near or in DC, Camry or Accord. They get wheel-jacked quite often.

Love my Corolla. My mom has a Camry and I find it too much—unfeasibly big, less-good backup camera, hard to park. But it does have a very comfortable interior if you have tall people or regularly need to seat adults in the back seat. Barring those factors I'd say Corolla all the way.

Charger. With a Hemi.
