So I got a call from my uncle on Saturday and he reminded me about something he told me and my cousins years ago. He had told us back then that if any of us gets a masters degree he would buy that person new car. My sister (no pics) graduated with her masters a couple weeks ago and is moving to Dallas next weekend with couple friends. I'm sure she doesn't remember our uncle telling us that story either so this is going to be a big surprise. Now I need help from the OT to choose between these five cars all 2015 models:

Nissan Sentra
Ford Focus
Honda Civic
Hyundai Elantra
Toyota Corolla

Anybody familiar with dealerships in the area which should check out please recommend them.

Is a used car (2-3 years old) an option? You'd be better off getting a used car than a brand new one.

I'd put that money spent on one of those poor person whips towards a down payment on something more appropriate for the DFW Metroplex.

I would also lobby for a Mazda 6, but that's not in your 5. Can't help with DFW dealers. Dallas is so big that any dealership selling those popular cars is probably going to be competitive enough - those aren't cars that often have big rebates for which you'd have to shop around.

I've heard good things about the Dallas Park Place dealership.

Park Place has a great reputation but agreed with statement that most will be competitive. Go new, some of these models probably have 0% financing. Hyundai has a good reputation for having nicer technology features and the cars are improving in quality. But they still can't touch Toyota or Honda. Good luck

I've bought several cars from John Eagle with no problems. Bought my Tacoma from his Sport City dealership last fall. Best deal I could find and service is fine.
