Replacing Honda Civic VTI

I want to replace my Honda Civic with a newer car offering similar performance and reliability. I've owned my current car for 16 years with no problems whatsoever ,it's covered 140,000 miles. I have a budget of £7500. I have considered a CR-Z, what do you think?

The CR-Z hybrids is cute, but not as phenomenally economical as the 2000-2003 Honda Insight: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-cr-z-2.../ I'd go for a 2006 - 2011 Honda Civic 1.8iVTEC which is reliable and can do 45mpg on a run.
