you could get a corolla, 41mpg, good cars, great resale.
new civic
toyota matrix
kia rio, (havent really heard too much bad about the new one, worth a look plus 10 yr warranty)
nissan sentra (you could get a good deal as there is a new one coming out next year)
the focus is underpowered
the new toyo yaris' are due out soon, same with the honda fit and nissan versa.
