I've been looking into the same type of situation for my fiance, we're looking at about 8k in budget, and thus far the best thing that we can come up with is the Saab 9-3.
Great car, very reliable, plus it's a bit kooky and fun. Also sporty. Comes in two-door manual, for MPG consderations.
I've owned two Saabs, a 9000 aero and an old 900 and they have both been great cars. Not all euro cars are overpriced and underwarrantied. The one we're aiming at is a 1999 Saab 9-3 Two-door, for $7599.
