My Advice to you is :

Choose 4 cars from the list you have written in the begining odf the topic.
Then go to the comparison area in the Forum here and check you'll find comparisons between the 4 cars you have selected.

Then you'll be able to know what are the +ves and the -ves of each


Choosing a car vary from somebody to another due to the diffrence in Needs .

Driviiing style?
How much do you want to spend on it running cost?
