What car would you get with....
What car would you get with around £2000?
keep in mind I'm 18, I have had my full license for about 9 months now, was previously driving as a named driver, but now its time for my own car so insurance has to be as low as possible.
I used to share my mums Ford Ka so i would like something a similar speed if possible 
Cheers,

I've just done a BUNCH of quotes for all kinds of cars, cars i can all buy for around the same price and similar amount of miles.
Here are around the kind of quotes im getting just of a comparison site.
306 2.0 Diesel - £1350ish
106 1.4 quiksilver - £1100ish
Saxo VTR - £1380ish
Saxo furio - for some reason im getting £1862!!! but i know its usualy about £40 more than the 106.
Renault Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique - £1150ish
looks like i might have to look into some quiksilvers....
