Buying a 3-4 year old, first car what would you recommend?

I am 17 and will soon be 18 and I am un decided on what car I should buy for my first car, I am un decided between a 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa sxi and a 1.2 Fiat Punto.

I will not be buying the car from new, so which car out of the two would you recommend based on insurance prices, reliability and future expenses.

Either will be a lot more to insure than a 1.0 litre car such as a Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo. Maybe as much as £1,000 a year more.
