Dardandec Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I would go for something that is easy and cheap to repair. I guess it depends on whether you are motoring on a budget, or it doesn't really matter anyway. I would advise some you have already mentioned. Corsa Fiesta Hyundia getz Seat Ibiza, leon maybe VW polo, golf Astra Mini (But can be expensive to repair sometimes I believe) Kia Buying a car can be a minefield as everyone knows, but my advise would be to never buy a car unless its got service history, that is a must in my opinion. I always work on the principle that if there is no service history, then its not been looked after, and you as the buyer are going to pay that price. Also try to work on average mileages for the year of the car, I would steer clear of a car that's done star ship mileage but is only like six years old, unless again its got full service history, might be worth considering then. Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'd recommend a diesel Peugeot 206. Cheap to run and fantastic reliable engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny5 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Golf. In two years time it will still be the same but the Corsa will be knackered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qaz16 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm still not sure what to get, what would be your top choices for under £4000 I want a small car to start, ive thought about the following BMW 1 series mini corsa fiesta polo or golf leon ibiza I have a very jealous cousin who has a 04 golf, I know he will start acting like a 10 year old if i get the same car, and a mate who has a leon.
