My dad has said he will buy me a car upto £5k when I graduate in June (as his did for my sister)

What would you guys go for?

Personally am torn between:

New Corsa SRi (on HP)
Peugeot 206/207
Fiesta ST

Fabia vRS or any other small TDI to be honest... If you can get over it being a diesel you can have a pretty nippy car for £5,000.

There's a 240bhp vRS for sale on PH for £6,000 which will be reliable, not use much fuel when driving sensibly and fast too.

Out of the choices I would go ST. Out of the budget I would go cheap French and have a 182cup. I went for an ST due to requiring fun factor but reasonable insurance
