Toyota Corrola's handle well, and get high 30's to low 40's for mileage, but from what I've seen ones from 1996-98 tend to burn oil but are otherwise really solid and cheap to repair cars.
I'm a fan of the Honda Civics, but finding one in your price range is hit and miss.
problem with the sportier cars, like the Mazda's is they tend to be beat on and that abuse is going to cost you alot in repairs.
