After nearly 18months without a car, I now need one again... I leave my job in 2 weeks, so lose my work van, which has been my only transport

And I can't seem to find a car!!!

Problem is, I don't know what I want I know I don't want anything expensive to run (like RST's) or that will need constant attention/repairs (like RST's) or old cars (like RST's )

But at the same time I don't want a bog standard boring piece of poo like a Micra or Fiesta etc.....

To give an example, I found a fairly nice Mondeo ST24 for sale locally for £1600 (130k and slight shunt up the arse) and whilst it is a fair price for the car (more than I wanted to lay out, but for the car it is okay) the insurance is £700 and I been told they are quite juicey if you kick em around town.....

So help me out with idea's for cars please chaps! I want something with PAS at least 2yrs in my Transit Connect has left me incapable of driving things without PAS

Bear in mind I am 23 and on a budget, so no 328i Beemers

 

Mondeo or Vectra. Loads to be had for sod all cash. Mate got a GSi Vectra for £900 not so long ago.
