So I currently have a BMW and love the way it drives, I would love to get another cheap BMW but due to the price and bad reliability I'm tending to avoid it. I'd prefer a car that is well known to make it to 200k miles without issues (maybe that restricts it to Japanese brands only, I don't mind)
Under $3000 (Currently under 130k miles)
-Remote startable
-Heater and AC are ready to go quickly (My corolla until it fully warms up will push cold and hot air through the vents, where as my BMW only pushes out hot air, although at a slower rate until it gets hotter).
-Heated seats
-Sedan
If a lexus does all this stuff I'll take it, although I really hate the corolla when the temperatures are in the extremes
Here are some pluses although not required
-Good on gas or good on power
-RWD w/ LSD
-Heated wheel
-Heated side mirrors
-Auto-dimming mirrors
-One smooth ass transmission (particualrly in heavy bumper to bumper traffic - might be hard to know about unless you've lived in an area like DC. Transmissions heat up here in bumper to bumper and become quite rough)
Comfort > sports
