My GF has a '90 Ghia 1.8L, runs well (55fwkw!) is auto and has no major issues. They only really have problems when you try and get power out of them, as the the transmissions (auto and manual) are all very weak.
Parts are pretty easy to find, and as for economy, she gets around 550 - 600kms per tank, which is on par with my 2003 Focus (ie not bad for a 16yo car, mind I have a heavier foot ;) ). Expect to pay around the $3k mark I think
