I think mazda 3s are really nice. If it's anything like my girlfriends mazda 6 it is very nice quality and does great on gas. My friend's mom has a 5-speed 3 and he loves to drive it.

A friend of mine had a 90's geo metro, light green. It looked like an easter egg but he only filled it up once every 3 weeks.

if I had to get a 4 door, I'd probably get a mazda 6 turbo. probably out of your price range though. Maybe a used mazda 6. they are sharp little cars...
I got 28 mpg out of my GT before the gears (highway)

Or you could just buy a geo prism for about 1,000 bucks...those things get some real SICK gas mileage.

dude i dont mean to burst your bubble, but you wont get 25+MPG on a SRT-4, I will tell you that they ARE fast and fun to drive, and probably will be worth the extra money on gas, but if your looking for a gas econ car, srt-4 is not a good car for that.
Id get a new dodge caliber tho R/T tho, $20k, gets 23/26 MPG and its fast and fun to drive, I test drove one over at the dodge by International mall and fell in love with it. I might be getting a Nissan Altima SE-R for a daily driver

my girlfriend just ordered a brand new 06 scion tc rs2 (the nice looking car scion not the lunchbox or that other ugly car). they start at $16,300 brand new! it gets 30 mpg and the whole roof is glass so there is a huge sunroof and its standard on every tc.
edit: thats not a pic of ours, just a pic i found on the internet.

the rs2 is the one we ordered it came into port on sunday and it was supposed to be here today but now they're saying tomorrow or friday... we've been waiting almost a month but only because its an rs2. this will be the first one in florida (supposedly).

My wife thinks that driving the Durango Hemi by herself doesnt make sense. I told here its like going out to eat we dont have to but we like to. As of now we have not decieded if we are going to do it but the TC looks like a nice ride for the money. Thanks all for the input.
