Try finding a good Nissan sunny from 2004 to 2010 Japanese manufactured.You will get them for as less as 5k to 10k. Maintenance is very cheap. I am driving one and i can guarantee you will not regret. But, have a good mechanic check it for engine and transmission issues before buying. There is nothing else to worry about Sunny's.

Reason for Nissan sunny - its summer and AC cooling of these sunny's are unmatched. Ride and Handling are good. Since you dont know roads now, having a small built car will be better to navigate.

Advise - Do not spend a lot on car since you are new to Qatar.

Other option is as mentioned by Achabacha but getting Toyota cheap will be difficult.

The best is Toyota. It has always been the top ranker in the ME for many years now. Its spares are cheaper compared to others and are easily available. You can also find non-original ones commonly known here as "tejari". Second comes Nissan. The prices of their spares are somewhat higher than those of Toyota's. However, both the cars have a good resale value and they get buyers easily. Honda ranks third in line. Most mechanics here have the know-how to carry out maintenance jobs on these cars.
