All you have stated you need for sure is AWD. Nothing else, but somewhat luxury. You have cars ranging from $20k to $50 fully loaded on what you have posted. If you actually test the cars, I'm sure you would have a better idea because what anyone else thinks is purely subjective. A $30k gap is a pretty big gap.

You are pretty lucky to have a 3 series with AWD, it's basically a entry level luxury car. I think you already have what you need. It's a matter of what you want now...

Just be honest, and be realistic with what you really need. Not what you want, because options add up. Sometimes its not about the cool factor, because at the end of the day its really just a means of transportaton.

If you actually been in a Mini, it's not that small at all.
1) Note how I said this was a pre-test driving post.
2) I'm not asking for peoples opinions on how they drive. I'm looking for opinions on the cars.
3) I know I'm lucky to have my car. When did I say I wasn't?
4) I have a price limit, and I've looked at the options I can get within that price limit.
5) I'm not necessarily looking for a "cool" car. I just want one that fits me, and one that I'll enjoy driving.
