Have my 3.2 V6 Alfa GT up for sale as it is costing too much to run as a daily, and with another child on the way I could do with an extra 2 doors.

Looked at loads of different options as a replacement, and at the moment I'm swaying towards a few of the quicker 5 door Superminis about.

Needs to have enough space for the kids on occasion (my wife has an estate that will be our main family car), cheap to run, insure etc and great fun to drive. I cover around 6k miles a year and do a lot of short journeys.

Options I'm looking at are;
Suzuki Swift Sport.
Fiat Panda 100HP.
Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart.
Skoda Fabia Vrs.

There are other, 3 door, options about such as the Abarth 500 and 207 Gti, but these will be too much of a pain to live with day to day I think.

Budget will be up to around £6000.

Any input or advice would be appreciated.
