Honda Civic is a nice shot, i drove one and loved everything but the lack of 4.0 I6 Falcon power. Funky interior, good build quality, great resale and handled quite well -If i had to get a 4 cylinder N/A car that would be it.

One girl here at work just got a Mazda 3. Apparently a very good car and in that price range.

There are three I'd be looking at in your position...
#1. Ford Focus LX Sedan - $23,990 #2. Mazda 3 Maxx Sedan - $25,500 #3. Renault Megane Expression Sedan - $24,990 Everything else... forget it. These are all 2.0L (107kW 185Nm Focus, 108kW 181Nm 3, 98kW 191Nm Megane), all in the small-mid category, all with high saftey ratings (5 stars with maximum points in the EuroNCAP for the Megane). IMO, in that class, at that price, I'd not look at anything but these three.
