might sound corny cause the site were on - but corsa is a relatively good all rounder - and theyre getting cheaper all the tiem - pick good examples up for less than a grand nowadays

no not micra - well bubble shaped one - the tin can original which had all sharp edges is suprisingly nippy - drove-didnt own one just after I passed while i was waiting to buy my corsa

polo,punto or corsa - these ( as a first car) offer slightly more street cred - which can be all important in a first car

metro...cheap as chips to buy/insure and the best thing is no one will want to steal it

tho it wont come with street cred, just go faster rust holes

a 1.3 bubble shaped micra, as standard is a lot quicker than the box shaped one, about 11ish secs to 60, cracking little engine, how about a mini though, loads of cred cheap to buy and easy to work on, the micra is a understated little car tho.
