other than this, it needs buttons for normal controls, not too complicated to understand, reasonably quick (she is used to the hot rod Acura), seat belt that does not come across her neck wrong, stuff like that. It is not a defined niche, more like knowing it when you see it.

After a couple minutes, we're off to the coffee shop, and I jump in and start up, unaware of anything wrong and figuring my wife has the fob in one pocket or another. A couple blocks up the street, I hear a strange noise on the roof, as if I were dragging under low hanging branches, but there are no low-hanging branches on that block. Get to the coffee shop and shut the car off. As we're getting out, I ask my wife to confirm she has the fob on her. She said she thought I had it. I told her she never gave it to me, and after a little looking around, I thought I'd just try to re-start... "HOLD REMOTE NEAR RECEIVER TO START" So NOW I know what that noise was!
Luckily I remembered to within a block or two where I heard that noise, and my friend was able to drive us back there to search for the fob. We found it right along the curb, thankfully out of the way of traffic and undamaged. It's a damn good thing that our friend was joining us for the coffee stop on the way home! The wife is not used to the push-button start thing, and now I know to make damn sure I know where the fob is whenever I start the car!

at least in the old days I had to pull it out of my pocket to even get the car started.

Now that 320IX was cool. No sports seats but, has a moon roof and betting it could get XM radio. But not really sure I'd do well with a BMW as they seem a bit high strung and need a certain kind of maintenance. I do better with "cheap to keep" to be honest.
Heard back from my local VW store. The new 2020 Golf is coming to their store soon, a blue one among them. But, there's only going to be one model and they're not sure if it'll have a moon roof and the Beats audio. Asked her to let me know when they get it in stock and I'll come over and give it a test drive. Made sure she understood that I'm not ready to buy anything right now. I just want to drive everything on my short list and see which ones I can remove from consideration.
Lastly, sat in a 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman at one of our locations and it was quite nice. I was very excited about how nice I fit in the front seat and had everything within easy reach. And it's not the small Mini Cooper either. I think I could live with one as my d d without any issues. Now, to test drive one and if I like it, come to a deal with my Golf as a trade in. And if it drives as nice as my Golf does, I could be in trouble here. Because I will buy it if it's as good as I think it will be!

I could be very happy with that car. If it had BLIS and CarPlay would have it all!

But, for $60K, you don't even have leather. And, flat white paint.
And, it's a 4 cyl automatic. Yes, that's the only way they came, but still... track handling package, why?

Normally I’d stay away from a RWD version for resale here in CO, but at that price it could have appeal on the enthusiast front, given it’s the only way to get the manual anyway.
Clearly out of warranty - anyone know of particular issues of concern on the 4 cylinder?

the experts will weigh in, but I don't recall hearing about any fatal flaws with the 2.0T engine, though I am sure it has evolved over the years with improvements. If it helps, CR gave the 2015 a much better than average overall used car rating (not enough data for 2014). The 2014 3 series generally rated fine too for the mechanicals. Might have been some teething pains if that was the year they switched from the 6 to the 4.

As for CarPlay, I found that even the most ardent disciples of St. Jobs Temple of Apple tended to prefer BMWs navigation/telematics without CarPlay.

It’s the N20. A decent motor and it makes the 228i almost quick. No real issues that I know of. Just change the oil every 10k miles/one year using an oil meeting BMW specs and change the coolant every 3-4 years.

I like BMW. But, I think charging either a subscription fee, or as an option on their cars to integrate Apple CarPlay is a non-starter for many. Not sure about all car makers, but the ones I’ve driven recently have both Android or Apple as a freebie in their cars.
Toyota recalled 3.4 million vehicles because of a faulty ECU that might not trigger airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners in the case of a crash.
The Honda one is doubly interesting because they say they won't be able to start fixing them for about a year. Yikes.

I also would not really expect any 20+ YO airbags to go off as designed now.
