My Mother got into a Chevy Aveo, recently for about 12k. Its not a bad car, the interior looks good but is cheaply made. You can feel it in the interior parts, if you were to tug on certian interior parts hard enough, they would just pop off. But for the money its what you'd expect. Gas mileage is great, on the car. And I have taken it for a spin twice, and was actually amazed that the Aveo, has some decent pickup. Small size and fairly responsive steering, seem to make it an ok car for driving around town and commuting. If you slap in an aftermarket Stereo System, dare I say that this car can maybe even been fun. It's by far not our Boxsters mind you, but for a kick-around car around 12k not too shabby.

What are you trying to do with it? Does it need to be new?
You could find an old (newer version) Mini Cooper in that price range. The reason I suggest that, is because my sisters consistently gets about 35+ MPG.
