Following on from my post in another thread, i'm pleased to say I passed my test today! 
3 minors as well, pretty good going I think.
So now i'm going to be looking for a "first" car. The criteria are as follows.
a) Reliable.
b) Pref. hatchback, but i'll consider anything.
c) Fun to drive.
I'm 23, and I have one years NCB as a named driver. I don't really want to be stung heavily for insurance or running costs, hence the requirement for it to be reliable.
Budget £1500 for the car.
What should I be looking for?
