'96-'98 Integra
I have a '00 SE and I love it. Runs great, awesome gas mileage (of course), I've had it for a year and a half and haven't had to do anything but the usual oil and filter changes.

Obviously a Civic would be a good choice, too. I'd stay away from Preludes simply because, based on your price range, you'd have to go for an older model, and we all know that the older the car, the more repairs it might need.

Imports in general are good.

I thought the VW Jetta was like, the staple of 20something economical vehicle in the last decade.

I wanna see the specs on this new rabbit...

240 drives waaaay the hell better than any integra.

I will admit, RX7s are quite the money pit, but I'd buy a 3rd gen rx7 anyday of the week mmmmmmm. Definitely wouldnt buy pre-90s rx7s, rebuilds after 200k.
