Well as my hopes of insuring a mini cooper or 172 are a no no! i wondered if anybody could give me ideas of a new car to buy:

Budget of 9,000
Insurance: no more than group 7
Has to be a 3 door

If anybody could give me a few ideas it would be greatly appreciated

thanks people

i would go for something thats either

1: going to hold it's value, eg VW, BMW

2: something thats goint to appricate, eg mini cooper sport 500
