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.

dunno y that posted twice. oops.
im not sure how much they are with all the extras so you'll have to look around. If you can get one within your budget i would go for one of those.

The best car you can buy for around $8000 (i have no pound sign on my keyboard, arrrgghhh!!!) is the Toyota Yaris. This car is far better than the Ford Ka and the Fiat. It's reliable with good handling and is also very cool. It's the most spacious small car i have ever been in. I'm 6ft4" and i have no problems fittin in with comfort. I know a few people with them and ive never heard any complaints.

My old one is probably still worth what I paid for it.

Out of the ones you mentioned personally I would consider the Hyundai Coupe. Used to have a Hyundai Sonata, parts were a bit tricky to come by but most of the times the specialist dealers always had them and sent them out. So wouldn't really let that put you off.

Best bet would be to look around, see whats out there and what you can get for your old one.
