Looking for a first(ish) car +REP

[j0rd]

Get something which at least looks nice/had a tad power.
Can pick up a Toyota Starlet for around the £2500 mark and they go like anything and don't look half too bad either!

Edit, this is a prime example:

Japanese import 1.3 Turbo with only 97k miles

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll look into the cars you've suggested!

I got a clio - seems to have done well so far.
corsas are generally some of the most popular.

peugeot 106's seem to be ideal
Or if you like all the classic cars and that - you could probably get away with a mini or Golf Mk1 for £1500 or so + classic car insurance is cheaper than normal.

Cars are pretty easy to choose from, it's just insurance is a kick in the teeth for the first couple years.

I've heard they are not to bad, a guy I know had a imported highly modified one and hes only 18 and insurance is only a little more than I pay on a swift

Ford Focus or Ford Fiesta, Can't beat ford in terms of reliability

Was going to say exactly the same thing. They are really nice and easy to drive aswell.

It has n0 alloys, they gave you a chunk of plastic. thus why focus ftw

5th Gen Ford Fiestas are pretty good for their age and are reasonably good value these days (< £2495). I owned one, learnt to drive in one, and a 1.4 model is pretty powerful and the fuel consumption was pretty good, better than the equivalent Corsa.

Tried GoCompare? I use them for all my quotes nowdays, no one strikes cheaper.
You generally get company's like InsureTheBox quote really cheap (E.g they quoted me £600 on a subaru Impreza for the year) so I took them on it, Worst idea ever
