Recommendations on vehicle purchase choice

Okay folks, my wife is about due for her next car and is an enthusiast as am I.

Her requirements are as follows:

1) Max price = $25,000 plus taxes and such
2) Must have a manual transmission unless it is a large sedan
3) Must have at least a tiny back seat that can fit a small child
4) Must be reliable enough and have low enough miles that she can drive it for the next 5 years / 75,000 miles without having to worry about any serious problems (i.e. not a ten year old, 80,000 mile E92 M3)
5) Must be fun to drive

She really enjoys my E93, but that series is getting long in the tooth.



Thoughts?

Some on the list were a 2015 or newer, low miles 228i, another option was the 2.0T Audi A3 except that isn't available with a manual. She really likes it, though. I thought about the Subaru WRX also, but the interior was horrific.
