Default Car suggestion

I'm looking for a replacement car by the 30th of September, but I'm having trouble finding the perfect one. Wondering if you guys could help me out...

Must:
* be $20,000 or less
* be fairly new (no older than '99 or so - financing)
* have under 50-60k miles
* have adequate power (160hp+)
* have a manual transmission
* have at least some cargo room
* get at least 20mpg city
* be reliable

Prefer:
* $15,000 or less
* run on 87 octane
* get at least 25mpg
* have aftermarket support
* luxury (leather, power seats, sunroof, etc)


I'm open to everything from an Audi TT to a Mustang GT convertible to a Saab 9-3......

03-05 Dodge SRT-4
03-04 RSX Type-S
99-00 Honda Civic Si w/ leather
01-03 Honda Civic Si hatchback
00-04 Toyota Celica GT/GT-S
99-04 Ford Mustang GT

If your looking for the best bet, the 99-00 Civic Si's come with sunroofs and you can find some that have leather interior, ALOT of aftermarket support, 5-speed manual and it has 160HP and VTAAKKK!!11 ( )

99-00 civic si, decent power, can be had for 9 grand, good mileage on gas, only thing it should be run on 93. Im sure theres a better car for your needs, but it doesnt sound to bad.

I actually used to have a Maxima...1998 GLE (192hp version).

I have 16 cars from Autotrader bookmarked...an RSX, three Audi TTs, two SRT-4s, Focus SVT, four Mustang GT convertibles, Civic Si, two Tiburons, two Protegé5s, a Cooper S, one Eclipse Spyder, three Eclipse GTS, Sentra SE-R Spec V, and a WS6 Trans Am.

Thanks for the suggestions guys....keep them coming!
