Nissan Sentra SER Spec-V..... should run you right around $20k or so.....
If that's not an option, I'd go with the Jetta. My friend has one (V6) and it's pretty sweet. For $20k you'd be stuck with the 4 banger.... but is should have most of the same features. If you can get the wife to go the 2-door route, then the RSX would be my choice....

Definatly go with the Jetta. Get the 4 bannger 1.8t. Its faster than the VR-6. Its a nice car. Just be careful because with minor mods your wife might be beating you in your CLS's.

the galant is nice but only the 6 banger. my mom has the 4 (very quick for a 4) and it's perfect for a mom, but still not fast enough. my ex has the four with every option and it's nice, but again still not very fast. my buddy has the 6 GTZ version and it's really nice--but unless you're gonna go used too pricey.
the new jettas are very well built. another friend has a 2001, and it rides like a benz.
if size and space are not important, i'm sure she would love the rsx.
happy hunting - seems like it should be fun, but it can be very stressfull (big decsion) good luck

This is no contest, for a little less than $23K you can get the 25th Anniversary Golf GTI with 18 inch factory BBS wheels, Recaro seats, Sport suspension, 1.8 Turbo engine putting out an impressive 180hp that has ALOT of aftermarket support, and does the 0-60 in about 7 seconds flat...did I mention it comes with subtle factory bodykit that makes the car look so sporty yet clean...the list goes on an on...also only about 1,500 units are allocated for the U.S. so you gotta get to the dealer fast!!! Anyways if you can get a hold of one of these, I suggest you take it in a heartbeat...here are some photos...

The RX-8 isnt going to be all that... I wouldnt hold your breath. Its only going to be 250 hp. The release date should be in march 2003. EST price they still say just under 30...///???
Limited quantiies; dealers are talking deposits this Dec. That means dealer mark-up's!!! Dont get me wrong its a sweet car, but I'd get the z before that...

If you're looking for a modable car for around $20k...I would have to tell you to go with VW. GTi or Jetta 1.8t....for under 500 bucks you can add the chip which adds 50hp and 50 torque. My buddy has a 2000 1.8t Gti with chip and intake...off the line he skids out through 1st and second, but thats cuz he's running on 6 inch tires, the new GTi has 18's available i think...anyway back to performance, at a rolling start he keeps up with my CL-S...not bad for $22k...Jetta 1.8t's are the same I beleive....so you choose....
