Didn't take me long to find a 2014 Chevy Sonic, 9K miles, 10K dollars. As base as it gets, no leather, no power anything (even windows), manual transmission (not my first choice for a DD). But it fit the bill, bought it in cash on the spot, liability insurance only.
This car is pretty practical, gets 37 MPG, has been reliable (maybe $1,000 spent in non-maintenance care). I'm sitting at 87K miles, the car was purchased in TX, spent a year and a half in CT and harsh winters, then Charlotte and San Diego.
Best DD ever and don't have any plans to sell. Will buy again, only in automatic form.

Nothing wrong with that! Your post reminded me of this article just posted last week:
