I haven't bought a vehicle since 2010, so I'm kind of out of the loop. 
My preferences -
-Don't want to spend more than 20k and would prefer not to go over 15k. New or used is fine, though I'd prefer something at least from the last couple years.
-Looking for something decent on gas, looks clean, and that's low maintenance/reliable. Not trying to be at the shop every month. A hybrid would be cool if affordable.
-Leaning slightly toward a car (probably a coupe or something midsized) but a truck isn't out of the question.
Anybody care to recommend anything? Was thinking maybe something like a black Civic (I've had good experiences with Honda Civics).
