Obligatory Honda Civic recommendation (1992-2005). Also...
Older Toyota Yaris models. And older Honda Fit years, like 2007-2009. Older Chevy Sonics with the 6 speed manual (rare, probably). You might look at the old Chevy Cruze Eco with 6 speed manual too. A early 00s Saturn SC1 (get the three-door coupe if you can find it... the third door opens like a "suicide door" on the driver side).

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
