Which car would you recommend based on the following criteria?

Factors important to me in terms of decreasing importance...
1. MPG (40+) 2. Monthly Payment (250 or less) 3. Cruise Control
4. Bluetooth 5. Comfort for long drives 6. Trunk space/folding seats

Factors that don't matter to me are..
1. Brand name, 2. Color availability, 3. Fuel type

I'm looking for something under 16k (new or used). Preferably used.

Lots of top ten lists here. You could look at the new ones and then go back a few years for the same model to hit your price point.

How about a Prius? Hybrid sales are down so in theory you should be able to find one at a good price.

I'm also partial to the Soul and new base models can be had for around $16k. The mpg is just "okay" though.

Yeah, I have a [non-permissible content removed] for a Prius and that's what I'm exploring. But in the meantime, I was hoping to get ideas for other cars that I can explore.
