Help with daily drive decision?

Well I will be starting my new job and have to drive 80 miles a day. I am looking for a good reliable, fun to drive gets 24+ mpg on highway, good looking car. Well I have $5500 to spend so I just started looking at 94-96 Prelude, 94-97 Celica, 95-98 Nissan 240sx or the se-r, any other suggestions? What would you recommend?

Dont bother w/ the 240 if you're looking for gas mileage. I actually got better gas mileage w/ the turbo sr motor than i did w/ the stock ka motor

94-99 Celica GT 5-speed is the hotness, especially if you can find a fully loaded one, fun cars and they have great handling stock, I enjoyed mine when I had it.
