What is a good first car? - 2

I want to get a pre owned car. The thing is what brand has inexpensive parts. I was thing of getting a Toyota or Honda because I hear they last long. But I really want somebody's opinion on what is good and the benefits it could give to me.

Read Consumer Reports' Annual issue (likely at your local library). You can find recommendations that fit your budget, reliability charts, and your lifestyle which is not explained in your question. Do you want to go 4 wheeling? Have lots of friends so you need more than seating for 5? Have limited funds so mileage is most important? The list goes on.

So do your research.
