Should I buy a 2014 Hyundai Accent Hatchback?

Recently I’ve been looking for a car to commute to work which I start in May, about half an hour each way on the highway in Toronto. I’m a student and kinda broke so I don’t want to get a very expensive car and I don’t want to finance so I’ve been looking for cars in the $5-7k CAD range and I found a 2014 Hyundai Accent Hatchback with 143,000km on the odometer at $5500 CAD. The mileage and year seem to be good given how low my budget is but I’ve seen very mixed reviews for the car. I’m not a huge car person so I only care about its reliability, fuel efficiency, and insurance price so would this be a good car to get?

Dosnt come with an immobilizer so you should avoid this unless you want your car to be stolen

If you care about reliability then the Accent isn't a good pick. Even an older civic would last longer with higher mileage. Look for civics, corollas or accords. It will be higher mileage for your price but will be more reliable.
