Hi guys ! I'm from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

Idk if they're a thing over there but Kia Picantos are great, they're basically go carts (the 2011 onwards models anyway). My only issue is that you can be problem free till it hits 10 years old and then once the first electrical gremlin shows up they all turn up one after the other.
