Need a good car w/ budget of 5k

Hey everybody

I'm in the market for my first car, and was wondering what would be a good car for my budget of 5k. Here's what I'm looking for...

Good mpg-Since gas prices are fairly high, and I'm not exactly made of cash, I'd like a fuel efficient car.

Reliability- A reliable car that'll won't completely break down and has some small fix-ups

Performance-The car doesn't have to be puttin' out alot of hp, but nothing like 60 hp either.

Aftermarket-Needs to have a fair amount of aftermarket parts

Thanks in advance,
FreeMotion

Most all Hondas fit those requirements.

I'd go with a 1992-1995 Honda Civic Si. The gas mileage is 30 mpg or more, the reliability is excellent, it seats four fairly comfortably, it's quick for what it is, and it has a gigantic aftermarket.
