If it's just you driving around (I feel your pain, as I'm 6'3" and rolling about 330 these days), then you can get something smaller and it'll be ok. I'm driving an 01 Civic, and since it's our 2nd car, it's fine.

However, if you constantly chauffeuring people around, I'd suggest a bigger sedan (Ford Taurus, Toyota Avalon, etc) or a SUV. For $5000, expect high miles...just make sure the previous owner(s) have taken care of the car, and you'll be ok. Always CarFax anything you buy used...

I had a 95 Ford Taurus for a few years, and it worked out fine. Only problems I had was tranny (had it rebuilt at 70k, went another 65k miles and it was working great) and heater coil.
