Perhaps an older Camry. I gave my 2006 Camry SE to a neighbor’s son so he could commute to college. Just short of 300k miles and running perfectly.

Its replacement was a 2025 Camry SE. A hybrid. I, as an engineer and ‘Vette owner, like it a lot. But the trunk, hood, and doors close with a “chink”, not a “clunk”

You have forced me to look up curb weights. There is a reason my spreadsheet shows the new Camry at 47.8 mpg after 15,500 miles.

The 2025 Camry SE hybrid is about 3,500 lbs and has decent hp at 232 combined. That seems to be ok for body structure and safety. Much better than a Geo Metro with 55 hp and 1,500 lbs approx.
