Civic. They're a little more money to buy (when compared to an equal car from another brand) and a little more on insurance - however, you will never have to fix fuck all on it.
Got my 2005, silver, 2-door, power-everything (no sunroof), 78,000Km, for about $10,000. I've spent ZERO on it other than oil changes, and adding audio/video and other little goodies to it (but that's my choice, right?)...
