The third best driving car that you can buy for under three thousand dollars in my opinion is a 1996-2000 Honda civic hatchback. Yes I know its a Honda but this is a good car for anyone looking to start working on or modding cars.
Parts are inexpensive and the car is unbelievably easy to work on. I myself have owned one and let me tell you that it is a fun car. The four wheel double wishbone suspension makes this car corner like a dream. And the 1.6L SOHC (single overhead camshaft) engine is incredibly efficient, you can easily get 30-34 mpg on the highway with this car.
These cars are so cheap that for $3000 you could buy one with the 1.6L 106 hp motor pull it out sell it and buy a 2.0L or 2.4L motor from a 2003-2007 accord and a 5 speed lsd (limited slip differential) transmission then swap that motor into the car. If you did that then the car would be crazy fast.
The things that I liked when I owned my car was that it looked good got good mpg and was fun to drive especially in the winter. Overall the 1996-2000 Honda civic hatchback is a good reliable daily driver car.
