MK4 fiesta 1.25 16v pretty reliable, nippy for a first time driver, comfortable and millions to choose from. You could go for the mk5 whick looks better but then would you be getting a minter car for the money in the mk4 and some pennies to throw at some little mods??

Pick a good colour and get one that is as rot free as possible as this costs £££ to sort and with clean bodywork, thatway you can polish it up and keep it super clean.

A million and one things you can do in terms of styling, but I like the simple look.

Even this looked smart
