I think with those requirements I'd be looking at either a Honda Legend or a Ford Ka.
No, its still fairly rubbish.
What do you want? An old luxobarge? A nearly new hatch? A hot hatch? Something that handles? A 4x4? What?

Ok, heres a more refined list :
- Not too old (2004 onwards)
- Reliable (as previously stated, which seems to rule out a few suggestions so far)
- Decent running costs.
- Something along the lines of a hot hatch.
It doesn't have any particular requirements, bar carrying 3 passengers and the dog on the odd occasion.

Shame I can't persuade you out of the decent running costs bit as this was great for a four seater 200+ bhp , 2004 or newer car:

However it seems you want a hot hatch. Not a sector I'm familiar with but I would have thought you could have your pick of the usual suspects. Golf as suggested, renaultsport of some sort, Focus ST etc. Probably best to drive a selection and see which you best get on with.

I have just sold an FN2 Type R after running one for 3 years. It's now attracting the wrong image! Combined with the horrifically thin paint and back breaking ride, I got rid.
Think I'll go for a decently specced Golf GTi. Any links to decent ones would be great!
