Sorry for posting another one of these threads but I need some advice.

I just got offered a new job and I'm going to need a car to get there and back, I live in Salisbury and the job is in Bournemouth.

I'm 22, I have a budget of about 3 maybe 4k for the car and insurance. Unfortunately don't have any no claims bonus since I only drove my parent's car for a year after passing my test at 17 and haven't actually driven a car since then (couldn't afford one at uni and my current job is in walking distance).

I was thinking about a mk4 Golf but looking through the threads on here I guess you guys are probably going to recommend a Focus. I'm not really too keen on the looks of the Focus, but that's not really a primary concern.

Any other suggestions or advice for buying a first car?
 
Really I'd like something reliable and not too expensive to run, but also vaguely interesting to drive so the daily commute doesn't make me want kill myself.

I'll take a look at some Mondeos...
