You probably will not be able to find a nice Scion Tc for $5000. The least I've seen a Tc go for was $7990. I have a 2 door car and yea, it can get annoying, but I like having a 2 door because it looks better. A Tacoma on gas will be up there, but it will not be that bad. A Tacoma under $5000 is almost impossible to find, too. A civic is a very reliable car, especially for a first car. You will be able to find a 2000-2004 civic for $5000, maybe newer. I, myself, am 16 years old and I drive an Oldsmobile Alero, 2 door, and its a very nice car. I would like a little SUV, but I am fine with the Alero. I would consider your best bet would be the civic. You will not be able to find a nice Tc for $5000, and the Tacoma, either. If you have a lot of places to go, the civic has about 35-40mpg, which is excellent. My car only gets about 25mpg. So, if I were you, for your tight budget, go with the Civic.
