I'll assume that this is for the US market. So here I go: the Mitsubishi Mirage.
The Mirage is, well to be frank, very unrefined; but if you want a cheap (cheapest, even) basic transportation that's reliable, fuel efficient, new, and has a warranty, it's hard to beat the Mirage.
In my opinion though, you do need quite a bit of tolerance for bad NVH if you're spoiled by luxury brand cars, since the Mirage's NVH is just plain bad. I rode shotgun with the G4 in Saigon recently, and even at just ~50 km/h you could tell that it's very unrefined in terms of road noise isolation.
I live in mexico and we have some more options around that price point and the mirage sucks for what it is, there are some cars that for the same price have at least some security features.
