Has to be reliable
Easy to get parts for if it does go wrong
Comfy and roomy inside
Nice interior

Astra G 1.8 sxi/sri
Corsa C 1.8 sri
Fiesta MK5 zetec s

id go with a clio 172 cus 1, iv got one and im bised and 2, out of all the above cars its the quickest but my mates got a clio 1.6 16v and its suprisingly quick with good handeling and breaks so worth a think for a comprimise.

106's are getting on abit now, zetec s is a really good bet although most 90's 1.6 hot hatch's will rinse you of the lights

My advice would be with £4500 do not buy a 106 / saxo, they are good for a bit of fun but imo you can do better with that sort of money, for 2500 - 3000 they are a cracking car, but there is more to a car than just handling. Which imo is all the saxo / 106 is good for.

if im completely honnest , the cors 1.8 sri is my fave, as i think they have good performance for what they are adn are reasonably spacious compared to other smaller cars, second best is the astra as its obviously bigger then the corsa.

thirdly the zetec mk6 as again they are spacious inside, but theres know way im gona get a 1.6 one for £4500

Focus is better than the Astra for the money.
