As I've said before (over & over & ...), the Dodge Colt is a pretty decent
car.  With a "twin-stick" transmission and 1.6l engine, you get very good
performance and also good fuel efficiency.  My Colt just passed 51k miles
with no mechanical breakdowns.  I've never been without transportation
because of this car, which is something I never expected to be able to say
about any car.  Of course, I do care for the car relatively by the book,
etc., but that should go for any vehicle.  Anyway, a Colt is relatively
inexpensive, not luxurious, but quite comfortable.  You should have no
trouble with legroom and headroom unless you are over 6'3" tall (that's
my height, and I wouldn't want to be taller, but I don't feel cramped now).
Anyway, enough testimonializing.  Good luck on your hunt....
