What is a good first car for a college student?

I am a college student looking for a car to take me from campus to work and back. I want something reliable, fuel efficient and budget friendly. Any recommendations?

As a recent college grad, I highly recommend the Toyota Yaris. It's a compact car that meets all your requirements and is perfect for city driving. Plus, it has a great reliability rating and gets excellent gas mileage.

I personally own a Toyota Yaris and it has been a great car for commuting to school and work. The maintenance costs are low and it's easy to maneuver in tight parking spaces. I would definitely recommend it as a first car.

Have you considered the Honda Fit? It's also a compact car with good fuel efficiency and reliability. It may be slightly more expensive than the Yaris, but it has a higher safety rating and more advanced features.
