Need help...
Can anyone think of any newer cars (2000+) that are similar to the 200SX SE-R idea? When i say idea I mean, a small, reliable, good handling, good gas mileage, really FUN car to drive, no necessarily fast, but FUN.
the only things i can think of are Celica GT, VW GTI and maybe a civic

Yeah, well my friend is looking for a car and he's not exactly an enthusiest but he likes a fun car.
I already knew almost all the cars you guys listed and the only reason i didn't reccomend some of them are...
Ralliart - guy near me has one, has 18k on it and already has knocking problem...
mr2/miata- he wants fwd, (he's not such a good snow driver
)
and he says he doesnt like the old SI's, they were one of my first guesses.
but ill let him know about the contour, never though about that.

Up until Natey, nobody said protege. Come on guys, a protege with springs will outhandle any of those cars! (besides miata/mr2 of course)
My friend has a GTI 337 and it one of my all time favorite cars. It's fast, it handles very well, especially at high speeds, and it has that German vault-car feeling. Contour SVT's are fun too, but it's a ford, so if he's a stickler for a nice fit and finish, or a well designed interior, that might not be the car for him.
