Hi, I'm a new grad and looking for my first car. I am fine with certified pre owned cars. I prefer smaller cars and want good city mpg as I will be driving it in rush hour often. Not an ev or plug in hybrid as I will be living in an apartment. I would prefer a car with more tech (driving features like lane assist, park assist, etc.). I don't care about the media system.

Some cars I am considering right now are the Toyota Corolla and Prius hybrid models. I am also considering a Kia Niro, but heard that insurance doesn't cover some years of Kia and Hyundai cars because of a manufacturing security issue?

Renault Clio E-tech Hybrid, have a 2023 model myself and it's great. Smaller but not too small, Really good mileage and has the tech you're looking for - lane assist, park assist etc.

Think they're around 25-26K from new at the moment.

Unfortunately they don't seem to be sold in the US.

Ahh, hadn't even considered the country difference, my bad!

No problem, don't worry about it. It was my fault for not specifying the country in the post.
