"Looking to replace my car soon"

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 looked at the GTi, very nice, but £3500 to insure.

Novas suck, like their drivers. Both of them clank around, stink and make weird noises.

In my opinion, the best car to get there would be a Fiat Seicento Sporting; it's cheap, practical and sporty, like the MG.

Every Nova belongs to a Jonny-boy racer in Britain...

To which they then "Soup" (Or is that "Coup"?) them up in the most hillarious fashion.

You can also note them by the pounding bass which has a 2 mile radius, poor Nova.

They also have ear rings and caps and baggy clothes and a stupid face.

A vauxhall nova. that's a good one.

every one of those cars should be crushed and made into bottle tops.

Right.

Renault Clio.
Peugot 306.

Dunno if they're in the price range though.
If not, go for a Vauxhall Nova.

Ka's are girls cars, and that's the bottom line.

Stilo = nice

Hyundai Coupe = nice, I suppose

BMW = yeah yeah, common as muck. reliable though

why not go for a decent VW Golf? You could get the TDi, which is very quick for a diesel, and you can get it with all the trimmings that you do in a GTi.

Some kid on a ped went into the back of mine, broke his leg so I have to wait until he's better to sort out the insurance. Selfish little git.

Get a Citreon C2.

You can have mine if you want. A Peugeot 306 Turbo Diesel, 91,000 miles on the clock. The only problem is the head gasket has just busted and will apparently cost me £600. I couldn't swear loud enough.

It's a Ka either way except yours is lined with the skin of a rotting carcus. Ones a woman's car and one's a woman's car that no woman buys as they all took philosophy and constantly question whether or not the animal chose to be a seat when it died.
