I know nothing about such, please guide me in the right direction. Only thing I know is that I love Toyota cars (they seem to drive really nice...).

My Mother in Law just picked up a Camry for $20,000.00 delivered. That would be my pick.

Here ya go.

Assumeing you wouldn't mind a list of nothing but hatchbacks... barring the Lancer and Altima.

Not bad choices though.

I like the Ion and the Altima personally. Not sure on the Ion's price.

I'm with MVS on this one, especially right after a rally weekend. It's a tough choice between the two, though.

If you need to stay below $20000, I'd go with a Matrix S [or whatever the 180 HP one is called] or a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V.

Stick with Toyota and you'll get mad mileage.

After crashing my 1986 Corolla GT-S into a few curbs [one such encounter required an entire rear axle replacement] it finally was rendered undriveable after I crashed into a guardrail. The crash ripped the hood and driver's side mirror off and pushed the driver's side A-pillar about a foot back, but the car ran just fine. I wish I would've been a better driver when I had that car, it was damn fun to drive.

Ion, I'll look at that too, thanks :) This may be a dumb question, but what does hatchback mean? -_-;

no trunk, the car is like a shorter station wagon with a liftgate in back.

LOL... yeah, my list is half hatchbacks... but there isn't anything wrong with a hatchback... Protege5 > Protege and Matrix > Corolla....

Anything to break the tedium of the cheap cars.

And better a hatchback than an SUV.
