What first car should I get?
I am 28 but only passed my test a year ago. I will be doing about 24k per year on the dual carriageway commute (30 miles each way). My budget is £6000 but could add a little for the right car. Was thinking of a diesel, Golf, Polo, Focus or Peugeot. Happy to look elsewhere as I work in Swindon. What could I get or should I look at a new Korean car? A low insurance group is important.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

More room and better handling than the previous version. Excellent crash test rating. 1.3 does 40mpg + 1.4 D-4D does 50mpg +.
