In need of suggestions for a new car!?

I'm in need for some idea for cars/trucks that are the following:

Fun to drive all year round as a daily driver

Good MPG

Easy to work on

Not big(compact or mid-size)

Reliable

It can be new or used

Update:

it needs to be obtainable with a $30k max price

Update 2:

Fun to drive: has both acceleration and handling

I also carry people every now and then too so that's important

    If you don't want a sporty car like a Mustang, Camaro, Miata, or Challenger, then you need to decide for yourself what "fun to drive" means.

    What kind of driving brings a smile to your face? Feeling a rush of power as you leave half your tires at a stoplight, or do you chuckle to yourself when a sweeping curve opens up and you point your car's nose squarely at the apex? Or a little bit of both?

    I personally like cars that handle more than I do cars with lots of brute force. On my short list, in no particular order, would be:

    Infiniti G35

    Acura TSX

    Mini Cooper S

    Volkswagen Jetta GLI, or GTI four-door

    Ford Fusion Sport / Lincoln MKZ

    Mazda 6s (V6 engine)

    Pontiac G6 GT

    You should be able to find gently used, low-mileage examples of any of these cars, for under $30k.
