If you just need something to get you from A to B in economical style that's not too hideously ugly, I'd go for a last generation Honda (Accord or Civic would both be in that price range). Same goes for the Nissan Sentra and Altima (last generation, not current). The used ES wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
Unfortunately, American cars still aren't worth diddly squat used, so I wouldn't buy the Vibe unless you want to take it up the ass when you decide to sell it.
Do you want to modify the car to race or, for lack of a better term, rice? If so, definitely stick to a Japanese make, unless you want a Rustang.
Check out whatever you're going to buy at a few car sites to see whether they're worth the cash, and make sure you never EVAH pay sticker. Edmunds is what I generally use for reviews and owner tips.
