I need an econobox to get back and forth to work, I just sold my subaru impreza (2 door RS).
1. It must get 35+ mpg, closer to 40mpg the better
2. 4 doors
3. Prefer a hatch/wagon so I can fold the back seats down and easily stuff my bike in it.
4. Manual transmission. It must be available with a manual transmission.
5. $20k price tag.
6. New car w/warranty.
Currently I am leaning towards a new Ford Focus, I can get X plan pricing, manual trans, heated leather, all sorts of other fancy jazz, 36-40 mpg on the highway (a buddy is getting 36 combined on his commute) and get out the door under 21 or 22k and I like the styling of the car.
