Cars I've thought about:

Sentra
Corolla
Civic (although finding an unmolested example in Atlanta is impossible)

Basically I need something I can drive back and forth on rainy days (motorbike otherwise), maybe have some fun with, and get at least 30 mpg out of. My auto 318ti gets 25mpg always .

Suggestions?
Hard to go wrong with a Corolla. But in your price range it might be hard finding one that doesn't have a bajillion miles on it.

One of my cars is an old Mitsubishi Galant ('89). Lots of room inside, excellent acceleration, fun to drive, good FE, extremely dependable. Virtually nothing has gone wrong with it except the routine items (brakes, tires, etc.) that eventually wear out. And its 21 year old stainless steel exhaust is still all original, with the exception of the front most exhaust pipe.
