I know this belongs in Car Talk, but I wanted the input from the WL crew, considering that I havent been doing any kind of car work for the last year and a half and I have posted in any other sections.

Ok so me and my girl are both planning to get some newer cards (pre-owned). I am not a speed freak i dont really care about going fast. My two major concerns are low maintence and reliability. Also on a budget, I have 23k to play with, for both cars. So no more than 12,500 for each car, and this includes tax and tag/title if buying from a dealer.

I was thinking for my self, a 2005-2006 Civic EX 5 speed Coupe, and a 2005-2006 Civic Sedan Auto for my girl.

Anyone else have any better suggestions?
