It's hard to beat a 4-door VW Golf for practicality...you'll appreciate that every time you have to access the back seat and the trunk (you'll love the hatchback feature).

If you want to go a bit more upscale, a used Audi A3 Sportback has the same advantages of 4 doors and a hatchback. It's also built on that same VW Golf platform, but is somewhat more luxurious.

With both cars, I'd recommend AWD if you live in a region that experiences that pesky white stuff (troublesome snowfalls).

Good luck, and let us know what you decide.

Oh, and by the way, keep the Boxster if you can swing the car insurance and don't need the money to buy the VW/Audi.
