these are all reliable and will last longer than other cars in this price range.

you can get a fairly decent ford ka for under £2000, they are 1.3l engines.  they do around 50 miles to the gallon and are generally cheap to run.  ive had a quote for a ka insurance and it was around £800 from churchill.  hope this helps.
