Civic or Insight would be a good choice. Insight will probably get better mileage, but its not fast by any standard without the IMA working right. Its enough to get you around, but if you're one who likes to floor it to pass someone or merge, you'll have to change your habits. Head over to Insight Central if you want more info on what to look for when buying one.
For a Civic, being as stock as possible is what I would look for. No engine swaps, CAI, exhaust, or anything besides maybe an upgraded sound system. Something used as a commuter car, not a wannabe race car. And the timing belt being changed on schedule, if that goes, you'll need a new engine or a rebuild.
