Thanks for all the input everyone. That really gives me alot to think about

 I am not sure if this car is the "one" I just have been told to go either, Nissan, Toyota, Honda. I also got a loan through my bank so I could have a better interest rate and one of the stipulations to the loan is I have to buy a 2006 or newer. 
That being said, I am having a harder time finding a Honda, Toyota in my price range. Nissan has a few I have looked at that are right at the tip top of my budget that with a possible strings pulled and trade in I might be able to do it. 
  Oh the joys of buying a car. I am nervous excited... excited to drive something newer.. but nervous it will just break the minute I drive it. So... I am just shopping until I know I find the one
 
  
I have always loved the body style of Altima and Maxima. The reason I am nervous to look at Hyundai is my mechanic said Kia and Hyundai are basically the same thing.. He said he gets those 2 cars in the most with issues. So after being told that I am hesitant... 
However, My friend drives the EXACT same car, (KIA) that I drive right now and has no issues with it whatsoever. I think she just had to replace her power steering pump and that was it, then the obvious regular maintenance.  I think I just bought a lemon
 
  
Well keep your fingers crossed for me for the next little while, while I shop. I just want to drive a car and actually be excited about it instead of thinking how long I might make it before I have to fix it again
