I drive a 08 Accord 2.4 5-speed now and it's a pretty good commuter. IMO it's pretty comfortable and the only thing is the fuel economy. It can do 32 MPG in the highway and 22 MPG in the city so it's still not bad, and with the 5-speed manual tranny it's not that slow, either. Hilariously, a Civic Si from the same time period is actually worse on fuel and you have to use 91 octane(Accord just needs plain old 87). It's a bit faster, though, so there is that.
For a gas car, it boils down to this: fast, good fuel economy, cheap to buy, pick two. No car under $10k can do 30+MPG in the city while not being slow.
IMO German cars depreciate faster for a reason. You will spend more money to keep one running.
