Daily driver inquery

[Misanthropy]

Hi fellas,

My wife will be arriving in the states in a few months and I wanted to figure out what would be a good daily driver for her. She was looking to spend around 6k. I would like to make it a Ford if there are any a good fits. I am looking for something with good brakes, decent mpg, and good crash test ratings. Obviously reliable also

Any input would be nice. She is a tiny woman.

Thanks gents!

These questions are always fun. Also, congratulations on your wife coming home! I don't know the whole story, obviously, but this sounds like good news.

The '09 Focus SE looks pretty promising.. Lots of maintenance has been performed.
Maybe the '07 Fusion with no photos.. but I like photos.
The blue '10 Focus looks sharp, but the fact that it's been reposted a bunch of times turns me off..

Maybe wifey needs a Mustang. That opens up your options a bit.

$6K is not much of budget. Focus may be your best bet.

I will assume you got something by now.

For the next guy, your driving habits and mechanical abilities are important. If you don't drive much and don't turn wrenches, lease a car. Me, I try to buy cheap depreciated luxury cars apparently and drive them till the wheels fall off.
