Toyota Corolla: Is it a good used car?

My 20-year old son has just got his driver's licence and wants to buy a reliable and economical car. I would like him to have a safe car. His budget is $6000. Can you make a recommendation?

BUY a small car with a four-cylinder engine, and if you stick to the well-respected brands, such as Toyota Corolla or Echo, Nissan Pulsar, Mazda2 or 3, Hyundai Getz, or Honda Civic he should be a winner. Buy the car with the lowest odometer reading and in the best condition that fits his budget.
