can pick up a fiesta zetec blue for about £170 per month with no deposit if you shop around mate
girlfriend just bought one for her first car and they are excellent. loadsa toys and 1.25 or 1.4 so silly cheap on insurance
a lot better build and ride quality than new corsa aswell 
dont think anything gets near the fiesta on value for money tbh

I'd go with the Fiesta. Started to like them a lot more recently. The Zetec Blue models look pretty good, not bad spec, cheap insurance and sure I saw an ok finance deal on them the other day in a car mag. Been looking at them for my girlfriend

The Reason Fiestas are going so cheap is because there's a new one out pretty soon - expect resale prices to drop, especially if the new ones are anything like the mazda 2 it'll most likely be closely based on  .

The 1.25 courtesy car I had revved quite well. Learnt in a 1.25 as well, excellent cars.
Prefer the look of the Corsa D though.
Don't get a 5 door Fiesta even if it's silly cheap.

that would be my suggestion, my mate has a 1.2 12v. i was quite surprised how nippy it was. also, i've found my ibiza to be reliable and to handle well, although mines the fr not the 1.2. also, i believe the the styling of the ibiza to be streets ahead of both the corsa and fiesta.

Been thinking about it, and im starting to sway towards the fiesta now, considering a 1.3cdti corsa though..
The corsa looks better than the fiesta, but i dont think its anything that a nice set of wheels wouldn't cure
Dad wants me to get a 5dr, for practicality, but id prefer a 3dr, another reason not to give people lifts anywhere

Think long and hard about getting a new car on finance, especially at young age, they depreciate and you lose a lot of money on them. i really regretted getting mine on finance.....obviously it does work for some people though
