From these which would you suggest? And are there any alternatives? Mainly it's for driving around in London, so nippiness is more important than speed. Not too fussy about size, anything between the civic and aygo is fine. Reliability is very important and I was hesitant to short list the ford at first...
I'm gunna assume blue is ur favorite color? Cause, all of those are blue of some shade or another.

I got an 08 civic lx at the beginning of august and it has been nomthing but good to me. i've already put on 5000 miles so far doing roadtrip and other driving. i've been averaging 38 mpg with it which has been incredibly nice. plus it is a ton of fun to drive. handles great, acceleration is quite amazing for a car that gets gas mileage as high as it does. i would highly recommend the civic

Yeah I don't like blue either but whatcar was the only site I could find with small pics and they seem obsessed with blue...will almost definitely go black so I don't have to wash it as often

lol, jez, they all make me lol except the fiesta and civic. I'd say civic. Oh or theres the grand punto and corsa, both great hatch backs.

When did u pass your test btw?
I haven't passed yet Won't be gettiing this for a few months (the fiesta's not even out for another month anyway). Dunno what I'm gonna do with it tho lol, no point driving to uni so it'll probs end up on my driveway or getting driven by my rents more than me.

Looks like I'll be going for a fiesta, civic or golf so far. Karma going out.

How much money have you got to spend?

The Fiesta will be at least £9,000 for the most basic one, wheras an Aygo is about £2,000 less.

Don't listen to this man. Fiats are the most unreliable and unsafe pieces of shits to have wheels on these roads.

Get this :

Seat Leon.
wat

Don't go around telling lies.

Fiats are very safe and very reliable.
The last three cars my family have owned have been fiats, currently having a Fiat Bravo, nothing have ever been wrong with them.
Look at the EURO NCAP ratings if you think they are unsafe.

its actually safer than a leon.

id say go for the fiesta or a fiat 500 if u can stretch to one.

not actually joking, get a civic

my mate ste (he posts on here sometimes) has a Focus ST, and even after hammering that down backroads, he still finds the civic to be a fucking awesome car to drive.

A friend of mine used it for a driving lesson, and he said the clutch is a bitch. If you don't get it perfect, it "lags" badly


If this is true, it's not exactly the best "first car".
