Hi all,

I will soon be needing to buy my first car. I was wondering what
recommendations and advice people on here would give? It will be used
for a lot motorway driving (commuting) due to the nature of the
apprenticeship I should soon be getting

I was looking at the Polo and Lupo from VW, the diesel versions as these
seem to give better economy for longer journeys?

I am not looking to buy new simply because I couldn't afford it.

Reliability and fuel efficiency are the most important things for me.
Not worried about 'street cred' as such. I know insurance is going to be
quite expensive though
