Cars can be: cheap, reliable, good looking or fast.

Pick only two.

If he must have 4 doors then, and it must be in the sub $20k mark then almost nothing new will be really "fast". Everything in that price range is kinda pokey. Honda Civic or Mazda 3 is probably your best bet. Of the subcompact class, the Honda Fit seems pretty interesting as well. If he can stretch out a few more thousand, he could probably get a base GTI or Mazdaspeed 3, which are both quite fast.

Best bet is getting some used. If he wants something fast...then probably best bet to look at a 2004 or 2005 Subaru WRX.
