Default Wife is looking for a New Car (4CYc, Gas Saver) in AZ

So my wife is looking for a new car to replace her 96 Camaro we just sold. She would like an Econobox basically, something with 30+ Miles per Gallon in the City as she drives 30+ Miles back and forth a day to work alone.

Things she has liked so far:
99+ Mazda Protege's
Dodge Neon's
Honda Accords, Maybe Civics
03+ (Ecotech) Cavaliers or Sunfires

I think you get the idea, but she has a requirement beyond those... it has to bee a Manual.

So with all that in mind I though I would see if anyone had or knew of anything in the area.

Thanks

Good call.

BTW... I've got a 2001 Prelude Auto with 107k miles if you're interested. Cold air intake, underdrive pulleys, VTEC / fuel controller, and Crower cams and sprockets. Car drives nice, and I've recently gotten 28mpg commuting to work. The auto is the sport shift, so you can use it in manual mode if you want, or just throw it in D for regular driving. LMK if you're interested.

Hah, I get it, don't get an auto, but get an auto with "sport shift" because that makes it a manual.

That wasn't too obvious.

Figured I would bump this up as we are getting near the end of the month and its time for her to choose something... other then the damn POS Ford Focus.
