Arrow I need a DD! Suggestions please

Hey guys! As we all know the g35c is a very very beautiful car. However, we are all also aware that this car isn't the best in gas mileage as it is as heavy as lead. So I'm looking for a different daily driver, one with better gas.

I'm looking for:
a small car to fit in the garage
good mileage
not a performance car
preferably price range <25k

Current Ideas:
used Nissan 240sx
Mini Cooper (too femenine?)
07 Civic sedan
Toyota Corolla
Mazda Miata (also too femenine?)
used Integra
(feel free to suggest any others)

Scion
Impreza

oh, and if you have another DD, please mention it as well

Would you consider going hybrid? With the list of cars that you already have, are you trying to keep the car as compact as possible?

Camry? Prius? Scion? Civic?

To me that is what comes to mind when I think of MPG.

dunno your location, but a subraru impreza is hard to beat for a commuter. AWD, good gas milage, cheap maintainence.

I'd prefer not to go hybrid, and yes, I am trying to get a compact car.
Camry is slightly large, Prius is slighly ugly

I should consider scions, which one were you suggesting?
tC 23-30mpg
xA 31-38
xB 30-34

mmMm, Impreza is decent, but here in SoCal, I feel like it would be a waste to get AWD.

Thanks for your suggestions guys, keep them coming.
Thanks for your imput bro!

so you're planning on getting rid of the coupe?

if you're not, how do you plan on saving money by making payments on two cars at the same time?

I'm currently sharing the coupe with my mom right now, as my civic lease ended a few months ago. I'm not planning on getting rid of the coupe, but its sometimes inconveinient to share one car between two people.

So, I would like to have another car, not as luxurious or gas hungry as the g35c.
Thanks for your comments guys, any other car suggestions?
