Any ideas of a good first car?

[Technologic]

I'm looking to spend now more than £3000 on the car and £1500 on insurance, ive been looking a corsas and micras but any other good suggestions?

[GommeInc]

Ford Fiestas are very good first time cars, as well as the Corsa you mentioned

[Black_Apalachi]

Yep, Micras and Japanese cars generally. Basically don't buy French. This is the advice I was given for reliability anyway .

I'm pretty sure other than my Mini, a Micra was the cheapest thing I could find to insure.

vw polo or vw golf

Yeah, I'd go for a VW Polo/Gold. They're German and solid as a rock.

Get a Panzer if you are going German otherwise I reckon a commodore, everyone seems to get them.

Renault Clio ma friend.

I'd recommend a vauxhall corsa, and they are pretty reasonable to insure
