The list of reliable cars that you can get for $10k is long. How about you pick a few and we will tell you if they are good or not.
I had thought about the idea of a Corolla, (2012-2013 models as a start) though the idea of a prius or a hyrbrid corolla/camry isn't out of the question either - Though I'd likely have to get a significantly older model to get to the price point I'm looking for - And I'm aware that entails additional concerns as well. (drivetrain, brakes, hybrid battery longevity, etc)
Imprezas look nice, though it's tough to find one used around the price point I'm looking at unless the thing is 10+ years old, or has had some major problems (via carfax) in the past.
The tip about the IS 250/300's had me thinking a bit too; Not sure about reliability beyond 5 years old though. (just no record)
