Another vehicle to consider may be a Toyota Corolla/Geo Prizm. They are plentiful in the salvage yards, easy as heck to maintain and get decent mileage.
My '93 Prizm Lsi regularly gets 30+ city driving with the 1.6l. Do some "eco" mods and bring that up even more. There's one here in town on craigslist for $400 that needs an engine. I can source an engine for $150 at the salvage yard.
