3) Must have at least a tiny back seat that can fit a small child
4) Must be reliable enough and have low enough miles that she can drive it for the next 5 years / 75,000 miles without having to worry about any serious problems (i.e. not a ten year old, 80,000 mile E92 M3)
5) Must be fun to drive
She really enjoys my E93, but that series is getting long in the tooth.
Thoughts?
Some on the list were a 2015 or newer, low miles 228i, another option was the 2.0T Audi A3 except that isn't available with a manual. She really likes it, though. I thought about the Subaru WRX also, but the interior was horrific.

I have just the thing. My 2014 BMW X5... 38000 miles, mint condition, good for your mileage requirement... sadly that’s the only one it meets, but, hey, women change their minds about these things. Oh, wait, it has a nice back seat and it’s fun to drive. This turns out to be a very close match.
