As for them being jerky round town, its a load of shite you just need to learn how to drive them, if you keep your foot mashed to the floor when changing up it will be jerky as its trying to change as quick as possible but if you lift off it will change like a normal smooth gear change.

There a decent car but running costs are pretty bad and service costs are high especially if something breaks. Remember you might be anle to pick one up for 7k but there a 50k car and have running costs of a 50k car. Choose wisely when buying one cause there are pigs out there now there cheap as people aint maintained them as they should be.
Run a Evo which has regular 4k services so maintanance costs are not really a issue, budget will be between 9-11k
