I'm tired of my 318ti. It's too small, can't put the kids in the backseat easily if needed. I sometimes need the family SUV to haul/tow/whatever, but feel bad leaving the wife with a temporary ride that is flat out torture to put kids in (2 and 6 months).

So.... Need some suggestions. Since it's a a to b car (I drive to/from work in it 99%) I don't need anything fancy. Getting out of debit is tough, but hopefully will be worth it (no more payments)

Cars I've thought about:

Sentra
Corolla
Civic (although finding an unmolested example in Atlanta is impossible)

Basically I need something I can drive back and forth on rainy days (motorbike otherwise), maybe have some fun with, and get at least 30 mpg out of. My auto 318ti gets 25mpg always

.

Suggestions?
