What is a affordable, fuel efficent, sports car?

Q: It doesn't matter how old the car is or if its gas or diesel. As long as I can get it for under $15,000 used (or $20,000 if there is nothing under 15,000), around 30+ mpg, and it has to be pretty sporty(200-220+ horsepower). Cause basically love the feeling of driving a fast car, but I can't afford to pay for fuel these days, and I don't have very much money to spend. Please help me out, I've been searching around for weeks now with no luck.

A: You have a couple options. Miattas don't have the power you want, but they are an absolute blast to drive, get good mileage, and are really reliable. I had a 2003 with a 5 speed, which took medium grade gas, and got about 28-30 MPG all the time. They do 0-60 ni about 7.5 seconds.

Another option is a 2005-2007 Honda Accord coupe, 6 cylinder, and preferably a 6 speed. They have about 240 HP. I have an 06 (I traded in the Miatta), and I get about 28 MPG on regular gas. 0-60 time is 5.9 seconds, according to Car and Driver.

The Honda doesn't handle as well as the Miatta, but the acceleration is really impressive.

At your 15K price point you could easily get either. Both are quite reliable, and fun in different ways.
