maybe a Nissan Sentra SE-R. i believe a 2.2 or 2.4 ltr I4 with 170 horses matched to a 6 speed. prolly around 30 MPG on hwy and >25 in town, economical and sweet. check it out right around 17-18k i believr, i drove one when i test drove the 350, and the SE-R is surprisingly quick, and good handling.
