It's not 2 door, but you might consider a Maxima. Yeah, I'm abit biased, but they get decent mileage, dont have to do much in the way of maintence and are fun cars to drive (surprises alot of people how much power they have).

Another thing that I would look out for if I was in your shoes is a timing belt. I would try to avoid a car with one because when its time to replace them its normally about a $400-$600 job (maybe less, probably more, lol), if it's an interference engine and the belt brakes your looking at a substancially higher ammount though.
