Default Car Suggestions

I'm contemplating whether to get rid of the Neon(s). I'm not looking for a new car (if I do get something it'll be a SRT-4) because I'd rather not have the monthly payments. Here's what I'm looking for:

-Under $10K
-Lower the miles the better
-Seat 4 (doesn't have to be comfortable, I'm not gonna be riding in the back)
-Enough torque to get out of it's way (IE: No Civic Sis and the like)
-Decent Gas Mileage
-Mod-able w/o crazy engine swaps/nitrous/aftermarket turbos (I'd rather not do these, but it's still an option)

Duh, it's easy

Get a VERY NICE, and no sarcasm there, Probe GT(or Mazda MX6).

It'll cost you under 4k, and I can help build a turbo kit for under 2k, you'll have over 275whp and same torque. All while looking good and having money left over.

1g dsm is about 3 grand, put your 2 grand into it and I bet you'll be pulling some serious numbers . 2g's are a littler harder to find in good condition for under 10k if you want 5spd awd
