My wife and I are looking for a used car for my soon to be 16 year old daughter. I've been looking for a Honda or Toyota. I've seen a lot of Volkswagen passat TDI's for around 10k, but have heard they have transmission problems around 100k. I have also seen quite a few Ford Focuses in our price range, but have heard the 2012 on have head gasket issues. What are the pros on BBC thoughts for a little inexpensive car. Also what are experiences with hyundia cars? Are price range is in the 5k-8k range.
