Neither... those are two not very good choices. If I had to pick, the Kia.

How much does he want to spend? Does he have a monthly payment in mind?
What kind of driving does he do? City, Highway, Hills?
Does he prefer: smaller engine/fuel economy or bigger engine/performance
Does he need lots of trunk space? Or rear passenger space? Or flexible/fold-down seating?
Does he need AWD or FWD or RWD?

Does he need AWD or FWD or RWD? | Problem is price. He only wants to spend something in the $6000 range with no monthly payments. Thing he cares most about is that it has to have a decent to large size trunk. No preferences to engine size, drivetrain, or fuel economy. Wants something above a year 2000.

for something newer there's 2003 Mitsubishi Galant which are actually full size sedans and usually under 6000.

to me if it was a brand new kia, go for it since you'll be under warranty for a long time...

if he cares about price, he's going to care about fuel economy. I never had problems with 2001+ accords etc... good mileage/power wise.
