Decent cars for 1,500euro

I'm starting to drive soon, I was just wondering what's recommended for a 17 year old who's looking for semi-decent insurance, haha. Preferably something Jap and not too cringe-worthy, no yellow Fiats please :P

Yellow fiats are cool.

The only 1.0 you can pull off as a guy is an ibiza.

Cant go wrong with a Starlet!!

I got me a '98 in good condition with a years NCT for €490, ok, it had 172,000 on the clock, but sure, if I get a year or two out of it it'll owe me nothing! Nice bit of umpf in her too, 1.3, on the downside tax/insurance is a bit high :rolleyes:

Most of the previous model Starlets, 91-96 are 1 litre. Theyre supposed to be indestructable, go forever! I quite like the look of Mitsubishi Colts or even a nicely done Suzuki Swift!
