I vote for a CRX or a EG hatch....you can probably find one pretty easily for under $2,000....

Grand prix=road side queen(cause those things are POS and I always see those things broken down on the side of the road)
Civic hatch=nice, cheap and good on gas! Plus it's a honda and that says it all. Nuff said.
If there was a brand new Pontiac(don't matter what kind cause they all blow) or a broken down honda on the side of the road. I'd take the honda cause....cause....it's a honda!!!

Get the 5 speed, better to learn sooner than later. plus the honda will be more reliable, and cheaper and easier to fix if something ges wrong.

If the Grand Prix is anything like a Grand Am, it will start falling apart at 80K. I talk from experience, my wife's is in the shop every 6 months needing $300-600 in repairs. And no, I don't work on it myself, last time I did I broke a spark plug because there's a giant exhaust flange (like 6" around ) over it putting the ratchet at an angle. I hate that car. Buy the Honda.
