Also Consider

Volkswagen Golf II 1983
Long-lasting hatch with fine road manners and, even now, a classier image than most. Best one is the 16v.
Volkswagen Golf III 1992
Golf status, VR6 the best.
Citroen Saxo 1997
Good value and one of Citroen's most reliable cars. VTS is quick, the 1.1 very economical.
Peugeot 306 1993
Wonderful blend of ride comfort and handling control for its day. A rewarding drive, and good looking with it.
