yeah, that's what I meant. I was just questioning it as 5 years isn't that long, limits things somewhat.

well lets say engine size 1.8 max and insurance group no higher then 13.

also reliability and reasonable fuel economy would be nice.

i quite like golfs , but they tend to be quite expensive, and tbh they arent that quick are they

I wouldnt have a small car. Id use the 3-4k for a deposit on a bigger car or put it in the bank for a house. After selling my Corsa I am never buying another small car
