Have you looked for a Matrix or a vibe? they have FWD or AWD. I can get 40+ MPG with driving changes. EPA is 29. I can also haul 5 people, 8' lumber, a 1500# trailer and drive through 8+" of snow (mine is FWD, with all season tiers).

Cost should be in the 3-5K range for an 03-05 for a very versatile car that is light on the gas.
