Hondas have the best engines...not sure about body work. Toyotas are the best. Look for a previously leased certified model. which will have 24000 to 26000 miles on it. Basically any japanese cars are fuel efficent, good on performance and have a good resale value, as opposed to to American cars.American Cars are comfortable, but cause repairs and not very fuel efficent. Never owned a BMW, so cant comment on that. Compare the Blue Book value and make your decision.

Your criteria seems to be requiring something cheap, yet reliable. As mentioned in previous post, Toyota and Honda are very reliable. With a budget of 7K, best bang for the buck would be either Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. Honda Fit would be even cheaper on pocket, but cannot comment on it's reliability.
With that budget range, you can expect models upto 2012 and something that has at least 60k to 80k miles on it.
I would recommend going to a private party and inspecting the vehicle thoroughly (get an inspection done from a mechanic/auto service and check the service reports without fail) if cost is your priority.
