    Experiences range from a seller's house being raided by the Guards while buying a car to being given a grate of (presumably stolen) Heineken. It can be hit and miss really.

    What's your budget? Corolla gets my vote as a 1.4 anyway, better still an older 1.3.

    budgets between 3 and 4, its not much but I'm hoping for something that can keep me going for the next 4-5 years till I'm making big bucks and I can buy that Audi A4 (2010 model) I've had my eyes on for a few years!

    Ah yeah, thought so. Corolla or Mazda 3 gets my vote anyway . Fairly reliable yokes, just drive them on and they'll give little hassle, service when due, etc, you'll have the money up for an A4 in no time.
