Also Consider

  • SEAT Ibiza III 2002
    More interesting looking than a Polo. 1.8 petrol turbo FR good fun.
  • Volkswagen Polo IV 2002
    Cute-looking supermini with a classy cabin, rewarding handling and a pliant ride.
  • Ford Fiesta 2002
    Good handling and comfortable ride. Tidy design. Reasonably spacious. Plenty of choice second-hand. Good reputation for reliability.
  • Skoda Octavia 1998
    Satisfying drive and responsive engines. Decently built. Owners rate them highly. The RS is quite pacy. Practical estate is better than the saloon. Taxi drivers loved the 1.9 diesel and many did 200k miles plus.
