A good friend of mine is a mechanic, he advised me to avoid Kia at all costs. Unless you are buying new and selling before the warranty is out. Engines are made of glass.
To give specific recs, would be nice to have more info, like: What's the budget? How far will he be driving daily? Does he need/prefer 4x4, suv, or a truck? Is fuel economy a priority? Comfort? Speed? How long does he plan to keep it? Is resale value important?

Don't know the answer yet to every one of those questions, but I would estimate somewhere in the $15,000 range for budget. Probably not driving more than 50 miles or so per week, and probably not more than 100 once full time hits in the summer. Right now doesn't need anything more than a car with preferably decent mpg and comfort. If he's like me he will drive that vehicle until it drops, so resale not too important at this time.
