Hi Folks,

Currently driving a 2002 Mini Cooper S which I have had just over 1 year. I love the car and its loads of fun but its getting a little tiresome on my short commute and finding the lack of boot space frustrating at times so im looking to sell it in a month or so.
I have been looking at E46's or 9-3 Aero's but wondering if I have missed anything or you could recommend alternatives that would be worth considering.

Requirements:
Budget 4k (maybe 4.5k at a stretch)
Petrol
25mpg average
3 or 5dr (saloon or coupe)
Ideally an automatic
Decent boot space for a set of golf clubs

I do around 8k on average per year mainly local miles, but with the occassional motorway trips to see friends and relatives. Ideally im looking at the 330i in the BMW and Aero in the Saab to ensure I have enough performance for a hoon and overtaking when needed.

Outside of those 2 cars anything I should take a look at?

9-5 Aero, Volvo S60 are two I'd also look at, possibly E39s as well
