Maybe it's just my personal experience, but Mini drivers seem to be the "little pricks of the road"--always zigzagging around traffic, but never getting anywhere. Also, last I checked one out, there was little to no leg room for anyone in the back seats, so don't plan road trips with more than one other person.
The Cruze was one of the cars I test drove before I got my Lancer. Sorry if anyone on here owns one, but all I can say is, "what a piece of trash!" The tiny motor was screaming to move anywhere, and its 6-speed gearbox couldn't make up its mind even at steady speeds. There's also a LOT of road noise... it felt like a tinfoil box on wheels. The Cobalt was a MUCH better car, again, in my opinion.
A Jetta would be a good choice--between price, performance, and reliability, they're pretty spot-on.
Audi A3's start at around $27k, so keep that in mind. If you can afford it, it would probably be a great buy.
Make sure you physically go and test drive each one of these cars, but keep a very open mind about it. A lot of people get really attached to the
thought of buying a
new car, that they skip the details.
