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.

Oh, and the Smart looks like some put together with Pritt-stick.

They look very "meh?" But when someone as attractive as me drives one, they are much cooler.

I've driven my mums.

They may be pap but they look like sex on wheels. Ford Ka's on the other hand look more like something you'd expect to find a plastic version of in Toys R Us for all the little girls to ride in their back garden.

The Ka Luxury has all this though. Air-con, leather seats, heated front and rear screen, heated mirrors, ABS, CD player, body-coloured bumpers, remote central locking, alloys all for something in the region of £6000!

But it’s a 1.3

Oh, and the Smart is pap.

I enquired about a Smart Roadster, even test-drove it. But it was £14000 and the cheapest quote I could get was £2150.

I can still afford it, but I won't be able to afford much else.

Gutted I was

The Ford Ka is the car that single female uni students who take philosophy drive and they keep it for what seems like ever. VERY GIRLY. Try and get a Smart Roadster! I know nothing about cars but it's shiny, looks the biz and is only yay big so it can't be that much...can it?

Even the T-sport appears not to have air-con, and that's top of the range!
