Looks like a Jap car is the popular vote and would agree. Although if concerned for her well being, might want to check the safety crash test reports, especially at front angle hits. Some of those small model jap cars fall to the bottom of the list. One car you might consider in your target price range is a Nissan Maxima. Still not the tops in major collision but better than others. Bargain appliance car that checks all the right boxes. Anything over 100k miles is still a safe bet and untouched drive train often achieve 300k.

Also if a DIY owner, brake pads, starter, alternator (if needed), half shafts are cheap. Even better is to get parts from Autozone or those that offer free lifetime replacements! They keep your purchase on record and if you need another replacement and lost a receipt, no questions asked.
