Well, actually I'll go for any of the following cars in the order they are listed:
1997 Honda Civic Hatchback Automatic 4 cyl, 1.6 L 29 city / 35 hwy

I have a 1997 Civic CX hatchback. Love it. But, it doesn't get that great gas mileage. I live in Los Angeles and do about 80% "city" driving. I get around 25 mpg. This is before doing anything eco-wise though (I plan to do some mods).
Another problem with this model is the transmission. I had to have it replaced at only 95,000 miles, which seems ridiculous to me for such a "reliable" car. My Honda mechanic said it's very common to have to replace trannies in Honda's around this year. I totally trust my mechanic.
