Hello,

I'm looking at getting my next car in January next year and am stuck for options. I currently drive a 2011 A3 tdi quattro (170), but want something a bit different. I am only 20 (21 in June), and in January I'll have 3 years NCB and 3 years driving experience, so need to take that into account.

My "criteria" is:
- cost under £4000
- petrol preferred
- RWD or 4WD
- must be a fun car, fairly quick (i know this sound typical "young driver yob" but stick with me)
- under 3 litre
- fairly reliable
- over 25mpg ish
- manual ideally

So far I'm considering:
- e36 328i sport
- e46 330ci
- maybe an mx5 but looking unlikely

insurance for any of the above is £1100 or there abouts, wouldn't want to pay much more.

I know this is fairly brief but if anyone has any suggestions then please fire away!!! Cheers
