When a car is placed in the economy class, it means that it often has some dents, some paint chips, and aesthetic things that may not be tip top.
But..... The car should always have service at least 2 times a year, as well as an EU check every year. So that it is mechanically good.

Ford Fiesta, manual

The size is mid-range, and can be used by 4 people (5 in case of emergency)

Very comfortable to drive.
Cheap to run.
Appears to be a smooth car.
