Here is a list of vehicles that meet some or all of the above criteria:

Mazda3: The Mazda3 has attracted attention over the years for its sporty looks, superior handling and performance, and compact design. According to Kelley Blue Book, this particular model is Mazda's best-selling model in the entire lineup. Expect above-average fuel economy and ample cargo space for all your purchases.
Pontiac Vibe: This one was only available until 2010 in a four- and five-door hatchback. When it was first released, it was famous for being economical, though better can be found these days. At one time it sold well and made a lot of noise. It should be noted that over the years there have been reviews of this model.
Subaru Forester: The Forester scores highly in a number of areas including looks, comfort, reliability, performance and interior design. All these factors are worth considering if you drive a car from time to time. There is a manual or automatic option, it comes with standard all-wheel drive and offers a turbocharged four-cylinder or conventional engine.
AA: The Kelley Blue Book has a lot of good things about this model, such as efficient use of space, smooth handling, and the fact that it's very responsive on the road. This mid-size SUV is ideal for those looking for a reliable and stable vehicle.
Hyundai SonataA: Since you drive occasionally, you probably don't want to change your car every couple of years. The Hyundai Sonata is built to last, and depending on the year you're looking at, you may still have a valid warranty. It is comparable in quality to the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, but is a more affordable option.
