I agree with the Honda Fit recommendation. Fits are great cars. Don't be afraid of older ones, they're dead simple and not much goes wrong.

Resist the urge to put cheap coilovers on it, resist even more the urge to put a rear swaybar on it, and most of all resist the urge to put hellaflush 18's on it. Stick with 15" or 16" rims, even 14", and spend your money on quality tires.

The car changes direction like a go kart and will put lots of smiles on your face in the turns. On the straights, not so much. At the pump the smile comes right back. And when your buddy buys that 55" flat screen you can earn his eternal gratitude by hauling it home for him.
