Default Car options for under $20K

If you had $20K to spend on a car, what would it be? I want something fun and it MUST have a back seat.

Default 87-89 Porsche Carrera...

Reliable and bullit proof for the average person. The 3.2 motor is good for 200k and the updated G50 trans is easier to shift for the average person then the 915 gearbox. The cars actually get decent mpg too. The motronic FI is dead reliable and makes power. These cars don't require alot of maintenance either.

Default Be prepared for hefty repair bills & maintenance....

I think 951s have to be the worst cars to do a clutch or waterpump on. There is so much plumbing. Granted, its alot of car for the $, but its the repair costs that hold the used values on these down.
