I'm partial to durable used cars that don't depreciate much. Right now I'm driving a BMW Z3 roadster with $130K miles on it. It gets good 27-30 mpg, and I regularly get compliments on it from seniors and teenagers alike. I've put tires, shocks and a belt on it, not much else. It's worth about $5000. It doubt it will ever depreciate much more than what it is now.
My other car is a 2007 Mustang. It's worth today exactly what i paid for it 2 years ago, and will likely never depreciate beyond that.
I bought my 1996 F350 6 years ago with 190K on it, $4500. Still going strong, no oil use, normal maintenance.

Don't buy a Mitsubishi. Depreciation is like stepping off a cliff, and they don't last.
Anything Toyota or Honda is worthwhile. I'd be looking at 2000- 2005 civics, or 2003-2007 Corollas.
Malibus would also be on my list, but no other GM cars come to mind.
Pre-2005 Mustangs are really cheap now, and there are a few clean ones out there.
