going to look at several E46 BMW's this weekend. Lots of used cars in the market. I've always wanted a BMW but am not keen on the maintenance required. Any other cars I should be looking at?

For 6k 1994-2001 Acura Integra. 35+mpg, dead realiable for zillions of miles, relatively sporty, and they age well. I don't have one, but they are well known as supremely good used cars.

those Integras are great cars and the motors are top notch. It's hard to find an unmolested one. I am looking for something bigger for hauling the dog and wife and kids around in... I love the 325 sport wagon bmw's. They are practical and sporty. We've already got a little nissan Rogue SUV and I'd rather get something sporty and fun for a daily driver. That's why i'm considering a sportwagon.

I see I see. Well my 02 WRX wagon has been dead reliable, and it will go 200k miles without worry. I can consistently get 24mpg out of it. It may be a little on the smaller side, but certainly the same size as a 3 series wagon...and you can find them for $7k easily, in CA at least. You can get the regular Impreza wagon for even less.

The Mid 2000 subaru legacy wagons are roomier and are really good cars too, with a more "adult" refined interior. The engine and drivetrain on these cars is infallible too...but they may break your budget.

Cobalt is a good choice, they're solid cars for the most part

This altima looks to be in good condition

Needs exhaust work, but under your budget and pretty comfy.

High miles, but again under your budget
