If you can find one, MazdaSpeed Protege, or mayhaps a non STI WRX
I love my msp, its not the fastest out but its fast enough for fun, and it handles extreemly well. It struck me as very well balanced for a factory car.

No I am not kidding on the roomy. I'm 6'3 and 250 and I had plenty of space in mine. Unless you're like 6'5 or more or you're a huge fat ass, the car has plenty of interior space. Leather, climate control, heated side mirrors and power everything is pretty luxurious to me.

OMG, I'm going to recommend a BMW because that's what everyone else is doing, recommending their own car.

I think an S2k is not a well-rounded vehicle. Its purpose built.
Some of these cars you can't get NEW for 20k and below.
RSXS and TSX are both mid 20's.
The Tib SE would a good idea, as well as an mazda3. I think GM is offereing America's Best Warrenty now so you could go get yourself a nice Cobolt. The VW camp is pretty good, but they can quickly get above 20 if you add options.
How about a new civic? non-si.
