sw1 Saturn. skip the sw2 as the gearing is a bit short.

unmolested civic, mine is at 250000+ miles right now and getting better than 50mpg. I have $1045 into it total 500 for the car 525 for the a arms and some 20 bucks for the kill switch and hand throttle. Had a crx with over 300000 miles that I drove like an idiot for many years before I sold it still running well.

ford escort. Sold one at 180000 miles because we did not want to fly it back out of the bush and we could get a better price out in the boonies. we bought another one and wife drives it and gets 30mpg without trying.

mazda 626. My sister used and abused an older one for many years and it happily kept coming back for more till the radiator gave up and she kept driving it.

are all good options
