New car selection...

I am about to change my car, providing that I will sell it at a reasonable price, and I am looking for a new car (I live in Europe).

I am after a car equipped with a petrol engine up to 1.8L, sporty characteristics as much as possible, practical (so not a 3-door car) and cheap to run (this means no Alfa Romeo or VW...). My budget is around €25,000.

Below I have listed the cars I have checked out and my findings:

Honda Insight (Elegance edition)

• Most affordable hybrid in the market
  
• Good fuel economy
• Cheap to run (considering servicing expenses etc)
• Warranty
• Residuals
  

But....

• Bad rear visibility
• I tried to get at the back...but I just could not fit (I am 1.87m tall)
• I liked the interior design in the photos....but in real life, due to the fact that it is based on Jazz, it felt too crowded with all the switches etc
  
• Tiny armrest that looks funny...
• Definitely not fun to drive, even with paddle shift
  

Peugeot 3008 1.6THP (Premium Pack edition)

• Nice interior design
• Quality seems improved compared with the past
• Roomy inside
• Compact in terms of size
• A lot of standard kit

But...

• Odd looks from the outside...
  
• Questionable reliability
• Not expensive in terms of servicing, but not cheap either (cost for 1st service around €150)
• Residuals
  

Opel Insignia 1.6 Turbo (Sport edition)

• Miles better that its predecessor
• Presence
• Germanic feel
  
• Sport seats feel good
• FlexRide...providing it does what it says on the tin
  
• Power output (180 hp)
• Value for money (costs around €24,000)
• Cheap to run (cost for 1st service around €70)

But...

• It's huge...so if you live in a big city, parking becomes a very challenging task and requires a lot of patience
• Piano black trim doesn't achieve the desired quality effect
• 18" wheels come as standard....meaning that tire replacement is costly
  

In any case, I would appreciate any suggestions, thought etc
