Answer 3

a 1990's, or early 2000's honda, toyota, or kia.

Answer 4

I would recommend the likes of a Seat Leon or Ibiza. They are economical, cheap on insurance, and low on tax.

If you can't quite afford one, then how about a 1.6 Vauxhall Astra? The 1.4 is exactly the same to insure and very underpowered, so I would recommend the 1.6.

If economy and tax is important to you, look for a diesel. A 1.9 TD Pug 306 would be good, and so would a VW Golf / Seat Leon with the 1.9 TDI engine.

Hope this is useful to you :)
