2002 Toyota Celica Hatchback GT-S 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
Not too sporty but man is it reliable 
 Celica is my wife's car prior 2 us meeting and we've purchased 2 newer cars since marrying.  Having kids I've tired to sell this 2door however after 2 years of spending $ on the newer cars, this celica has the most miles but 20% of the cost of maintaining the other cars. It's underpowered, doesn't have enough torque, and has a very disappointing rt=rear blind spot, horrible rear seats, uncomfortable for tall drivers, slopping dash where u can't put anything on. I found other small cars better and faster like the Mazda 3, Corolla, Vibe.  Pros are it's nimble, good looking, good gas mileage, easy to maintain, awesome on curves.
