Actually, if you're looking to splurge consider the Toyota MR2 Spyder. It uses the same drivetrain as the Corolla, but it's lighter (2 seat convertible) so it gets better gas mileage.
The engine is in the back so it's even better than a FWD car. All of the weight is already on the driving wheels, and the weight stays there no matter how you drive.
Plus since it's a convertible, most people tend not to drive it as much so mileage tends to be very low.
Come on. I'm working with you here.
