    Not the best car about by a long way. But if it's a to b transport you want it should be just fine. Not very safe if you have a tip either. If it was me, go a couple of years back and get a decent Focus/Fiesta/Corolla

    It's cheap because they are not great and not too expensive new.

    Put up what you're looking for in a car, price, engine size, mileage, location and you'll get suggestions to help you;)

    I'm a learner and I have a mazda 121 1.3 but its fairly dangerous, got it for free like. I just want as modern as I can get with power steering, smooth clutch and decent tires and wheels. Have say 4 grand to spend. Cheers lads.

    ok, 4 k will defo get you something decent. Plus, dont trade your current car - you'll probably get a better deal with a cash discount.

    You should be able to grab this for maybe 4.5k

    Same as a VW Polo under the body, good cars in fairness.

    Another good option is a Fiesta and this should fall close to budget

    great car for that price

    it's cheap cause not to popular yet. New models like i30 will keep the price.

    Accents are fine if you want to be the last car in traffic always

    And an Accent isn't :D. As people have pointed out, have a look at the likes of that Fiesta. Far more modern and safer design and might be actually worth something come resale. Can't go wrong with a Fiesta imo.

    Has to be in the top for slow-coaches holding up all the traffic along with the usual Micras/Almeras/Tiidas/Corrolla brigade. As well as knowing nothing about their cars these people don't know how to drive either.
