[Shotimes] (OT) What cars do you find interesting? (for $7K or less)

[Christian Kesselring]

I am making a trip to the used car mall tonight to scout for a commuting car
to drive to work and school.  My budget is around $7K, and I am looking for
something fairly new that requires nothing more than routine maintenance,
gets good gas mileage and has an auto transmission, but is at the same time
interesting and high in fun factor.  Another SHO is not in the list of
options.  So, in this price range, what cars would you find the most
interesting?  This will help give me some ideas on what to look for.
Thanks.
