hi, perhaps a protoge, maybe a celica, 1992? fwd, good torque, cool looking,open diff would be good for making cool l0oking rooseter tails,i drove a '92 gts automatic in high school be4 the datsun. the brakes on teh car were impressive, felt faster than it was. 1.6 litre sentra se perhaps.(se is se-r body, but 1.6 engine, 110 hp.) lots of them out there,(even worked on a 1.6 sentra motor at wake tech) .. olde integra, late 1980's? maybe a miata? a old v-8 car would be a handful on the dirt but would be fun.
a mazda glc or mazda glh, hot lil pocket rocket, the GLH mazda....
a more recent corolla, basing on our recent reliability succsess..
the 510 datsun was a real kick butt car.. or a miata perhaps. lotsa them around.
maybe as a rental company special is a oldsmobile auroura, v-8 engine, fwd, lotsa fun with throwing dirt everywhere.
