lol, I was going to suggest a 420 Turbo.

Cheap enough so you can spend the rest on insurance

Again, failing that, some sort of Fiesta? 1.25 by any chance?

The 8v's are slow

So are the 16v's, but the 8v's are more reliable.

Go for Fiesta 1.25 zetec, the one before new model.

I used to have Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec ('99), it is quick and easy revving, great to drive if you love driving!

Nippy suckers tbh. Might melt though .

As a cheap no hassle first car whats wrong with it?

 

[Tesla]

I would look at...

Nissan Micra K11
Rover 200 Mk3 (Bubble)
Ford Fiesta Mk4
Skoda Felicia

They are all quite reliable and cheap to maintain.

 

[Lopéz]

If it isn't a BMW or a Mercedes, Jez thinks its rubbish. He also thinks everyone who just wants a cheap £1k runabout should buy a 2.5 V6.
