I would absolutely 100% recommend buying a used car and am against buying new cars, unless you are rich, but if you absolutely insist, I would recommend the Nissan Versa Sedan Automatic.*

*Disclaimer: I am an idiot and know nothing.

For some reason fueleconomy.gov shows the automatic model as being more fuel efficient than the manual model.

It starts at $10,990. It is the cheapest new car. It's won awards and stuff. I think it's a real contender when you compare it with other cars in it's class like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Kia Soul, Kia Forte, Madza 2, Toyota Yaris, Chevy Sonic, Scion IQ, Scion XD, Fiat 500, Honda Civic, etc. And then there's the Smart Car.

Or you could buy 2 used cars. That would be awesome. If you're looking for total mileage that would give you more miles most likely.
