Still got a few months before making the serious search...

How about a future classic? I can't think of anything right now that I think will appreciate in value other than an S2000 (already appreciating, but also way out of your price range.)
I'd stay away from any Subarus. Not because there is anything wrong with them, but because just about any Subie can be modified with a hi po engine from another Subie. Then he's got and is racing with 350 hp instead of 127 hp.
Honda Element? Practical for camping, biking, kayaking, dogs, etc.

I love S2000s but they are definitely not in price range.

Revisiting this as he is finally entering the workforce and will need to stop borrowing our 4Runner.
I have let him start looking for ideas on Autotrader etc so he can kind of figure what he might be interested in...within the parameters I have set
Obviously going to be a higher mileage car, but well taken care of. Here are some of the ones he likes...any red flags on these as far as reliability or major problem areas to look for?
Most of these will be mid-late 2000's or possibly early 2010's: Miata 2nd or 3rd Gen, Acura TL, TLX, TSX (and accord variants), IS250/300/350, Sub Legacy 2.5/Impreza 2.0, Focus SE, Mazda 3i/6i, G37, Fusion.
Trying to keep it under $6-7k.

Based on what I know about US and Floridian roads and conditions (absolutely nothing other than being a passenger in some car maybe 30 years ago) - Acura and Accord variants or Mazda 3/MX-5 I would have thought.

If you want to spend half that I have a really well-maintained TrailBlazer I can sell you.
