I am wanting to replace my car due to the fact my current one having little niggly problems with it.

There are a few things that I want in my car.

Air-con is a must have, and most cars that have air-con usually have all the other little things I want, so that is all I need to tell you.

So far I have a short-list.

Ford Ka Luxury. Has all the extra’s but only a 1.3, low(ish) insurance though.

Fiat Stilo. Preferably the 1.8 or above, insurance is actually surprisingly low for this, but reliability may be a problem.

MG ZR. Again reliability may not be great, insurance likely to be high too.

BMW 3 series. main problems, insurance and having to buy an older model because of the price.

Hyundai Coupe. Everything I need, low(ish) insurance for a 2.0 car, parts will be hard to come by though.

Anyone with good knowledge, or anyone who owns or has owned any of these cars, advice please. Or if you want to suggest other cars that is fine also.

I don’t want to spend any more then £8000, and I don’t REALLY want to spend that much.

I don't agree with that. The ZR is a normal hatchback.

Ooh, the new Mini, if only.

If you don't mind shoe-horning yourself in it every day - there's more room in a mini!

So if I drove up to your street in my Nova and asked for you to indentify me as a "jonny boy racer" would you do it.

Thought not.

Don't care about common when I'm sitting on leather and breathing nice cool air.

Hmm, Golf's, they are not too quick, they are a little over-priced and cost a shed-load to insure. Reliable though.
