Help with next car choice?
hello there 
I'll soon be selling the Fiesta ST and be looking for a new car, and due to the market being HUGE I was wondering what are my options and what do you guys think is best...
The requirements:
• has to be 4door (this isn't debatable)
• has to be fast (sub 7seconds)
• has to be low(ish) miles
• has to be reasonable to insure 
• diesel or petrol
• priced no more than £3,000
let me know what you come up with

Out of interest why below 7 seconds 0-60? Is it a number you pulled out of your arse? lol
Also when do you ever actually do 0-60 on a road?
Accord isn't a bad idea.

No you daft twat lol ... it's just a figure to aim for to stop people saying stuff like a crappy vectra or even worse a mondeo. My ST is 7.9 so want something a little quicker. No-one does 0-60 on a road nor track but it's just a way of saying something a little faster as people won't want me to bore them with figure lol.
Accord type r is quick but rather old looking

Under 7second 0-60, with low miles, for under £3000? Is that even possible?

well the mg zr 1.8 160bhp vvc does it in 7.4 i think or 7.6 or something, and you can pick them up for under 2 grand.
i know its slightly over 7 seconds but its great value for money.
