What is the best new car for under 20,000 with gas mileage as the key factor?

I am close to purchasing my first new car. It must be under 20,000 and the most important factors are 1: gas mileage 2: must be sporty.

1. toyota corolla - is that sporty enough for you?
2. I can't choose your car for you, but if I were in the market for a fuel efficient, inexpensive, reliable car, I would be looking at either a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla.
3. here's a link to some new cars on ebay motors with good gas sporty
4. 2007 Honda Civic Coupe LX 5-Spd AT 2007 MINI Cooper 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle 2.5L All get great gas mileage and you can make these as sporty as you want after you buy
5. Dodge Caliber
6. Honda Civic is probably your best bet. The Domestics still can't build a car as good. A Corolla S would be kinda fun too (they are do for a redesign in 2008). The Honda Fit has been getting a lot of good press, but the Civic has a lot more power, gets similar mpg and can be had at about the same price. I have also read good things about the Mazda 3's, and the standard version with the 2.0 gets pretty good mpg. The S versions have a bigger motor, and thus fuel economy suffers. The S version is probably the sportiest of the bunch. I think overall a Civic is your best bet. They have a proven track record and hold their value really well.
7. Toyota corrola, matrix ,yaris pontiac vibe its a toyota just made in the U.S. i have one good car cheaper then a matriix. No nissan... Honda civic yo may be able to work a deal on a suburu forester.
