4 – Toyota Corolla (2004)
Like the Civic, the Toyota Corolla represents a great choice, and there’s no shortage of used models out there. In fact, you might have an easier time finding a decent one than its more-popular Honda rival. Buying a Corolla from this era means not only benefiting from an exciting driving experience, but experiencing the joy of not visiting your local garage with any regularity. This is a prime candidate for those who want to get several winters out of their banger.
