I have a Hyundai Tiburon and I love it .. although the 2003/2004 has leaped in price .. My family owns 3 other Hyundais .. and all have been very reliable .. the key is the warranty .. if anything goes wrong (ie. the first battery doesnt last much more then a year) .. bring it in and they fix it quick and easy (and free).
I know hyundai has a bad rep, but they've really turned around in the past few years and are worth taking a look at .. you can get a fully loaded elantra for the same price of a stripped down Civic.
Other then Hyundai I'd recommend Honda .. I have tons of friends with civics and accords and they are always happy. 
ps. I have a cute picture of you in the limo leaving the GFY party .. icq me your email and I'll send you it.
