I got a nice little bonus from work over christmas so I'm thinking about buying myself a new rounabout.

I want to spend up to £1.5k but ideally around the £1k mark, I want something small, fairly nippy, Reliable, fairly cheap to run AND fantastic handling [not much to ask then ]

My mate is trying to convince me to buy a Corrado

What are your opinions on the following motors:

Pegeout 106 Rallye [Later shape]

Renault Clio 1.8 16v

Renault Clio Williams

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-M-RENAULT...QQcmdZViewItem

106 Gti

Saxo VTS

What are the above cars like reliability wise? What should I look out for?

Any other suggestions?
