I personally pick the Auris, it’s a nice looking 3 door hatch with some great reliability. It’d be pretty fun to drive, even in the base models

1 Series. Even though the space of boot was sacrificed by the RWD, But it’s 2000 BMW

The golf GTI or the cobalt ss, with the NFS Most Wanted soundtrack playing.

In 2006 I bought that exact 2-dr 5-cylinder golf (was rebranded the Rabbit for a year or two at the time). $16000 out the door with 8 miles on the odometer. Went 278,000 on the original clutch and engine before I traded it in for a GTI. One of the best most reliable cars I’ve ever owned.

I love Minis, 2006 – 2012 were awful. It will spend more time in the shop than on the road. The BMW is no different. The VW while fun has its issues, I’d go with the Toyota.

Fun and auto…
Those two don’t go well together as much imo

Cobalt SS would be the fastest and the most fun at the track or auto-x. But I would probably get the golf.

If it’s 2006 and auto, I’m going Saturn Ion instead of any of these options. One of the last Saturns you could get with the plastic body panels.
The VW will be a mechanical pile of shit after the warranty runs out (or before), the Yaris was roomy but tolerable only with a manual (and even then I hated the way the one I test drove felt- way too clunky) , the Mini’s of that era I’m pretty sure had the gauges in the center which annoy the hell out of me, the BMW is the most tempting of these options IMHO, but I’d still go saturn, or maybe cobalt, to at least have cheaper repair bills if /when it breaks.

Why auto small 2 door hatchback? Auto makes more sense on big sedans in my opinion. Also i would pick either a Golf or a Cobalt SS but with manual

Honestly if we’re looking for a fun car, why an automatic?
