Help me decide on a good car in the price range of $7,500 and $10,000?

I was hopping someone could give me some advice on what they think would be a good fitting car for myself. I want something with 4 doors, something that is a little more sporty than a base model, is a manual transmission, clean title. I wouldn't mind a 2 door coupe if it seats 4 or 5. I've been looking at subaru's, Honda's, toyota's, nissan's, scion's, etc. I wouldn't mind a forester, a civic si coupe or sedan, or a mazda 3 or 6. Let me know your thoughts on the matter.

Thank you!
