Im going to vote Toyota Corrolla S model ...well because we just bought one yesterday I love it ..... its pretty spacious inside it looks a little sporty and it does not cost an arm and a leg ... we got ours for 17,500 and the big thing with toyota is 0% financing and 2 years scheduled maint.
Also Ford Focus .. I have an 05 which I still love thats my baby BUT the newer models are really nice.
Good LUck !!!!!!!!
