What kinds of cars get good mileage, but can still go fast?

I am in the market for a new car, with around a $5000 budget. I want a good economy car, most likely a 4 cylinder, but I want it to be able to go fast when I want it to. For example, I have a friend who keeps talking up his Saab 900 turbo. What are some cars that get good mileage, but still have some power.

This question was deleted the first time and I don’t know why, but it does not make me happy.

   All modern cars go quite fast enough to get huge speeding tickets. A Corolla is a faster car than a lot of the “fast” cars of the 1960s.

   A fast car is neither an economical or reliable car. People buy fast cars to frive the crap out of them. By the time they get to only being worth $5000 there is not a lot of reliable driving left in them.
