I would look long and hard for a light stripper car for your commute, then get a Honda CBR 250 R with the money saved. Car 45 MPG bike 75 MPG. If you could find a pristine Toyota Echo that would be my choice for a commuter I am going to put 20-30k a year on. Why beat yourself to death with depreciation, which would offset the increase in wages just like a gas hog?
There is a dealership in Alabama that was selling new CBRs for something like $3700.
I know my advice does not follow you desire for a new car, but if it was me I would focus on saving the increased pay for retirement and emergencies, or just use it to get out of debt, then you really start to save money.
