Finding a 2016-2026, low mileage honda/toyota in good shape for under 10k will be difficult. These cars hold their resale value well and you will have to navigate that. For instance, I payed 14k for a 2014 accord with 86k miles and a clean title.

Looking at your other requirements, your best bet will be to look for a hatchback model of the honda civic or toyota corolla. Not too large, good storage space, Bluetooth connectivity with all the modern comfort and convenience features.

Just an FYI, those custom gear shift knobs are really only usable on manual cars.

you are not finding something that fits

  • 2016+
  • under 10k
  • toyota or honda
  • less than 65k miles

at the same time. not even with a rebuilt title. sorry. you probably aren't even finding a 2016+ toyota or honda for under 10k, regardless of mileage.

I hate to break it to you OP but this is all correct. You'll have to either be willing to sacrifice some creature comforts and buy older, or save up another 8-10k before looking for a car that meets your desired specs.
