Right guys, SV's off the road indefinitely (hopefully only a couple of months) and I'm in need of my own car. I was looking at mk1 or 2 golfs, minis and other bangers but after a brief meeting with my boss I'm set to get vehicle allowance. So:
Can anyone recommend me a decent, modernish car (2001 onwards) that won't be over the top on insurance? Reliability, looks, handling etc a decent car for an 18 year old...
Quite liking the 2005ish fiestas but would like to know what else is available!
Thinking about it I'm probably after a 1.2-1.6 (depending on insurance and mpg) as I do actually need to be able to get to where I'm going!
