I posted previously that I was looking at a Subaru, well, the deal on that fell through, so now I'm up in the air about what to look for.

My criteria is as follows:

Should have a backseat. I usually need to haul either guitar equipment or people.
MUST have a manual transmission.
Must have a tunable computer.
I'd really like to get something '96 or later, to use an SG, as I don't think I'd be able to work an MPGuino.
I'd like to get something that will have good aeros to start off with.

So I figure a 10yo Camry, or perhaps an Accord? Any other other models to look at? (And as nice as it would be to find a 1.0L Metro, sadly, they are entirely unavailable in my area).
