Soo i live in suburban hell and need to buy one to commute daily but I dont know anything about cars and I dont really know if I can trust random reviews on google.

I don't need anything big/fancy/powerful, just a car that will last and don't need much repairs and is fuel efficient. This would be for North America btw. Any recommendations? Also is it worth it to get a hybrid? I am looking to buy new since it seems like used ones are still super expensive atm.

    I don't mind used at all so I'll keep that in mind and ask around still.

    From my limited understanding/research, inventories are really low so a lot of gently used/new available cars are being sold above MSRP because there's people willing to pay a lot to get the car they want right away and the cars with good mileage are going fast because of gas prices. Luckily, I have family willing to let me borrow a really old car and I'm not in a super hurry to get one so I'm thinking of trying to place an order for a car with min specs at MSRP and waiting it out. I could also try and wait out the shortage but I don't have unlimited time and I'm worried that even with the shortage being over the price gouging/hoarding will remain because that's what's most profitable and there's no hope the government would ever implement price controls.
