first car suggestions - cant decide

the question has been asked a million times,what is a good first car

recently i have narrowed my prefrences to a couple of options,but each of them seems to have its own flaws,and would like help on setting my mind on one,here are my options

ford fiesta : heard its a solid car with average reliablity and fun driving,but its fwd

a 2000-2002 nissian maxima or altima = i have been in a couple,pulls like crazy for only 200 hp,reliable,availble parts in my country but still fwd

2004 3 series (e46): should of been a perfect choice,rwd,good power,but i heard alot of mixed opinions on reliability

i am working with a budget of 5k,all of these should be within it,but i cant spend that much on repairs,what do you guys think
