What to look for and suggestions for new car

I'm looking to buy my first car, but I am unsure what to look for. Currently, the characteristics I'm looking for are these:
- sedan
- 4-5 seats
- manual transmisison
- either diesel or gasoline depending on the exact price
- I'm not sure if fuel economy is something every average car buyer is looking for, but the higher the fuel economy, the better
- as much cargo room as possible
- I can't give you an actual price range since I live in Romania, but I am looking for a comfortable car that's neither cheap nor expensive

The main use for the car is to drive long distances with a lot of things to transport, meaning that I would move between my hometown and the city I study in over vacations, or for any other long distance travelling. I'm not looking to drive during busy traffic hours, but I would be driving at night once the streets are less crowded.

Based on this, how should I go about actually choosing a car, or how do I choose between different manufacturers? Do I simply test drive every car that's a possibility?
