As a few of you know ive had a couple of off recently

. Looking at getting another car when the payout comes through.

I will be 21, 3 points, 1 no fault accident and 1 fault accident as a result 0 NCB

Insurance is gunna be the biggy on this car choice. But i also want something that is safe and reliable and that looks ok standard because i wont be able to modify it. So basically this limits me to a 1.2 of some description or something diesel

The way that im looking at it, i can buy a cheap shitter and run it into the ground in the next couple of years. i.e. sub £1k and earn some no claims

or

Spend a fair amount more and get something that i will like and feel happy with. Because tbh i dont think that i would feel safe in another corsa b again

.

Price for the car would be maximum of 4k

Corsa C 1.3cdti
6N Polo
Seat Ibiza

What do you guys think i should do/suggestions please

corsa c cdti would be good on fuel, lower insurance and tax

a 1.2 sxi is ok, they are going silly cheap these days

Im going to say it.. Peugeot 106 quicksilver. Nippy little car, looks really nice as standard. A good all-rounder really

Picky fucker aint ya! What about a nice Mk2 Golf or a Mk3 Polo? VW's are strong cars IMO and mine has never let me down once and has never been serviced since taking ownership over a year ago
