Hey BD, thought we lost you again. Any improvements in the car search market?

We're trying to find the most reliable in our price range of $0.00 to $20,000 max. Since we can't go back to Toyota, that leaves the Honda Civic (Rated excellent for reliability) by Consumers Report. They are also having a sale on the 2016 Hyundia Elantras Value, which has allot of interesting features, heated seats, sun roof, back up camera, and I think blind spot, for about $17,500. It's rated by Consumers Report on reliability of 33% above average. And the Kia Soul +, due to I'm getting old and it's easy for me to get in and out of (never thought I'd be saying that), and it's 33% above average for reliability, and also high in safety. So I think that's the next ones we are going to look at. The Toyota Corolla was rated 30% above average on reliability (Very Good I think). So the Hyundia and Kia models we are looking at are on par with a Toyota. I never thought I'd say that either... 
Add Mazda 3 to your mix, Nice styling and performance, Edmunds A rating 29-34 MPG, and Ford Focus Well equipped for under $20K (before discounts)
I see the Mazda 3 listed allot in the ratings too. I'm worried about the sports like ride. I need an old mans car that's quiet and has a soft ride. We test drove the 2015 Toyota Corolla S Plus (Sport), and I didn't like the low profile tires which feels every little bump in the road, and it was a little hard to get my fat ass in those sports wrap around seats... I might be wrong, but I was thinking the Mazda 3 may be more for the kids..?
Look at the touring edition instead of the sport edition.
The 3, while having a nice peppy engine is more buy your daughter sporty (ie looks) rather than son sporty (aggressive performance)
