i normally drive my zuma 125cc scooter to the office but the weather is starting to get a little too cold.
I just got a 2015 base MINI F56 6-speed manual with the BMW B38 3-cylinder engine and that car is a blast. First tank I averaged 32.5 mpg mostly urban driving. Close to your budget - mine was $12,500, clean Carfax, 53K miles.

The surprising thing to me is how much like my old M235i it is. Same interior materials, same iDrive system, same climate control, same computer functions on the turn signal button - like I said in another post, it's a BMW-lite.
