Do any of you have recommendations for a small- to mid-sized used car for my son? He doesn't like large cars and can't drive a stick shift. In fact, he doesn't have his license yet, but I assume he will in the next couple of months.

I'd like to find him something that will last for his college career, when he won't be driving too much. So a car that has another 40,000 miles in it, hopefully for less than $5,000 in a private transaction, would be ideal. I'd pay more, of course, if its condition increases its probable remaining years.

I hate to say it, but I'd prefer that it be foreign since I've seen how American vehicles start falling apart after six or seven years.

Any thoughts? (I'm hoping for something along the lines of "Yeah, get him a 2010 Camry with fewer than 100k miles.") Since I don't follow the car market at all, I don't even know who's making the best vehicles these day. Or, rather, who made the best ones six or seven years ago.

Religious extremism main cause of terrorism, according to report

https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/nov/18/religious-extremism-main-cause-of-terrorism-according-to-report

Since 2001 religious extremism has overtaken national separatism to become the main driver of terrorist attacks around the world, according to the Global Terrorism Index

Religious extremism has become the main driver of terrorism in recent years, according to this year’s Global Terrorism Index.

The report recorded 18,000 deaths in 2013, a rise of 60% on the previous year. The majority (66%) of these were attributable to just four groups: Islamic State (Isis) in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and al-Qaida.

Overall there has been a fivefold increase in deaths from terrorism since the 9/11 suicide attacks.

The report’s authors attribute the majority of incidents over the past few years to groups with a religious agenda.


While the chart below shows that this varies across region, bear in mind that more than 80% of deaths from terrorism in 2013 occurred in just five countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria.
