Now, you might want to specify what you want. If all you care about is for it to be reliable and have 4 doors and 4 wheels, go by the traditional Toyota/maybe Honda philosophy and make sure to do research on models to avoid. For example, the Camry is what I would usually recommend used but from 2012-2018 they had transmission issues and 2019+ is too new to say. As far as I have seen a 2017+ Corolla sedan has not had any problems and gives relatively good value. It has 4 wheels, a steering wheel, 4 doors, and a modern interior for the class.
But from the limited info given, here are some tips. Go used! I know you said 2017+ and getting a used good condition lower mileage car could save you a lot of money. Like I said Corolla/Camry could be a good choise. 2017-2018 RAV4 is the last years of that generation and should be reliable and under 20k if you want an SUV. For basic A to B transportation I would go for a Corolla. For something a bit sportier, you might want to consider a 2016 / 2017 Accord. Really depends on what you want there are lots of good cars out there and take your time and you might find a great deal out of no where!
1) Accord or Camry
2) Civic or Corolla
3) CHR or HRV
What do you plan on doing with the vehicle? Any towing? 2 row, 3 row? AWD? How long and how many miles do you plan to keep? Car, Crossover, SUV, truck? If you can, give us some more constraints to narrow the focus.
Honda fit, camry, corolla, civic,accord, toyota 4 runner, honda HRV, honda CRV, toyota matrix, pontiac vibe .those are my first thoughts
