    I'm hopeless with cars

    I know its not on your list but you can't go wrong with a Ford KA, recently voted the most reliable supermini.

    And before anyone comments, no... its not a girlie car!

    Nice car Giy but if you dont mind me saying it's a little old for me.
    Im looking at new or nearly new motors tbh.

    yes but they stoped making the 16v and williams a year or so after that so you will be hard pushed to get a new 1

    tbh i would not tuch a new car if i had all the money in the world you lose so much on them its untrue, out of the cars u have listed id get the clio 2.0 16v 172 sport looks good very fast and lots of mods for it if your into that type of thing

    Me like the 172 but out of those listed i'm sure it will be the highest to insure,although i know there all pretty high to insure for me

    How about a new corsa sxi? The insurance is pretty cheap, there a bit nippy of the block and they look the dogs danglies with tinted windows and rear lights. Theres quite a lot of kits out there for it in the modding scene so in time you can add all the cool twiddly bits.
