From an engine point of view, something that runs diesel is a really good bet.  Unfortunately, nobody sells a diesel at $17000 (before taxes ?).   
 
I would have a chat with Titus and see what he can do for you.  He works for a Honda dealer.  The Sentra isn't bad, but it isn't too comfortable to drive over the long haul.  Hyundai is a good bet. 
 
Keep in mind that this year is a bad year for car dealers (everybody bought their new car last year....so demand is low).  So, your best bet is to wait a bit and then bargain hard.  If you are buying now, then the best time is 2 to 4 weeks before the tax deadline.  The next good time is around August. 
 
So, what are you driving these days ?
