VW polo 1.2, Skoda Fabia Hatchback 1.2, Fiat Panda 1.1, or Fiat Punto 1.2
Cars listed above are cheap for insurance. Fiat Panda is cheapest saving around £300 compared to other cars.
The budget is around £1000-2000. I just need to have a car that won't break down within a year as I'll be earning money after a year.
I've heard that fiat panda is most reliable and IMO most practical but they're really ugly compared to other cars :/
Which one would you pick?

Which models of these are you looking at? I presume we're talking around 10 years old, and in that case you'll always be fixing little things no matter what, running a car is not cheap (a lesson I've learnt myself). I have a VW Polo 1.4, similar to the 1.2 just has a bit more punch. I like it, I bought it for £1,500 (most of them have air con which is an absolute God sent in the summer) and its a nice comfy ride. So far I've had to spend around an extra £500 fixing things on it, but overall much better than getting on a sweaty train and as everyone knows having a car is much more convenient.
So yeah, VW = good make and the other car from that list I'd say you should look closely at is the Punto 1.2. For me personally, my decision came down to either a Punto or Polo and I went for the Polo because I've heard more good things about it + the punto's didn't have air con (or it was rare or I was just bad at looking
)
Good luck

I used to have a Punto, it was good, and I now have a Panda. Agree with the above user, because they're not as popular you can get really good condition. Mine is less than 10 years old, less than 55k mileage etc and was 1650.

I can find '06-'08 Skoda Fabia and Fiat Panda cars between £1000 and £2000. Before anyone else asks, I'll get them inspected before buying. There's usually 60k-80k on the clock already.
Fabia, great car.....if buying around the 60-70k check if its had its major service done
