Another car suggestion thread, this time for 5 grand...

A close family member was just involved in a fairly serious car accident which rendered her Mazda Tribute as a total loss (fortunately, she will make it out ok).
She’s a fan of not having a car payment, so she’s interested in finding something that her check from the insurance company will cover. $5,000. As the family car nut, I’ve been asked to
help with her search.

Since we all love it when these topics come up, what say you?

Some parameters to consider after talking with her:
-Japanese (not a priority, but preferred)
-Appliance-like reliability (priority)
-Sedan, wagon or small SUV
-Automatic gearbox
-Safe
-Fuel efficient
-Sub 100K miles (not sure how realistic this is, condition trumps mileage imo).
