My dear mother has decided that she'd like a new car. Her current whip is a silver 2010 Camry LE, and she'd like something smaller and more economical. I care because A) she's my mother, and B) I inherit her Camry, so hello $10k trade-in.
She's expressed interest in the Prius. My guess is she'd want the little C, but she might have meant the regular one. Either way, I thought I'd gather some options, and I realized I don't know nearly as much about cheap, small, frugal vehicles as I do about, say, 911s.

First, the requirements:
Alternatives to the Prii I've already thought of (largely with the help of #gear):

Thank you!

First, the requirements:
- small-ish (smaller than her Camry)
- 4/5-door
- reliable
- frugal
- not a heap of junk
- no more than $35k
- not an EV reliant on frequent charging, as she can't do that at home or work
Alternatives to the Prii I've already thought of (largely with the help of #gear):
- Chevy Volt
- VW TDIs (Golf and Jetta)
- Lexus CT 200h
Go.
Thank you!
