I suggest getting a basic ford fiesta. It's larger than other commuter cars in the segment with more power and the fuel economy is quite good as well. You can get into a well equiped one for around 14k. If you decide to go this route try looking a the new scion IQ as well. Both of these are non hybrids with no batteries to replace or maintain. They have a smaller carbon foot print and are capable of some significant mpgs.
