    Well so time has come for me to buy my first car... and I was wondering if anyone could give me some options. I can spend around 5 grand for the car (without insurance and shtuff) Im looking for a car that wont be too expensive to run as I'll have to travel around 200 k's every day and for something that wont look like absolute sh*t
    Und I'm 18 yrs old

    A Fiat Punto. Should be cheap to insure. Good cars cheap to run and a good first car. Good looking cars too.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    You won't go wrong with a Toyota Corolla, at least not regarding reliability. It shouldn't bleed you dry for insurance either...

    I'd recommend you get something cheap to run and reliable first, and look for something a bit cooler in a couple of years time when you have built up a bit of no claims history and suchlike.
