If you're looking for the ubercar, it's out of your price range. I've been looking for it since I turned the key in my 1988 Chevy S-10. (AKA, the Turd)
To be perfectly honest, the price/performance/utility/reliabilty award of any car I've ever owned goes to my 1993 Talon TSi AWD. Yes, I did have a few problems with it (The harmonic balancer came apart) but as a whole it was a fun, powerful, all around good car, and it was very reasonably priced.
DSM's get a bad rep, but they're just like Bonsai trees. You have to care for them.
Anyway, I said all your choices are bad (if it's your first car) because you will kill yourself. That MR2 that Dave had posted was bought by a 16 year old girl, and I weep for it. She'll be 11/10 at midnight some summer night and that'll be the end of another beautiful car.
