what about an e30 bmw 3 series? theyre fun cars, reliable, smooth running inine 6, 2.5 ac and heater and all the other little bmw goodies. the 325i's are nice but if u want there is also the "e" which is better on gas. then theres the 318. 4 cyl in the same body. all are reliable imo. I had an e28 super eta (same motor, m20 but bigger body) and it had 300,000 miles and was still running beautifully.
