Get an Acura Integra 4-door. Should get around 27 mpg, the five speed is 
wonderful, fits four no prob (five as long as they're small). Handling is 
great. You'll find it very similar to the miata in that it's peppy but 
lacks low-end torque. VERY reliable and reasonably priced for reapir (it 
IS a honda you know) Tires are 195/60R14 so it's not super-quiet but 
you'll appreciate it.

A 1990 should be in your price range.
