Focus, Golf or Astra
Heeeeeeeeeeelp? I'm an 18 year old girl. Cant decide which car to get, either a Ford KA or Renault Clio. Don't know much about car's. Either would be a 1998/1999 reg though 
Get a Vauxhall Corsa!
-the Ford KA is just soo small and note safe at all lol.
-the Renault Clio has too many engine problems, let alone a 1998/1999.
Also - how much money you got to spend?

VW Golf? VW are safe and reliable...
Just noticed, this is the wrong section haha

The insurance on it as a first car so isn't worth it. Especially a 1999 one. Go for: VW Polo, VW Lupo, Vauxhall Corsa, Toyota Yaris (vouch for this last one - fantastic little cars, very reliable and cheap to insure!)
I know someone who got a 3 year old Clio as their first car and within the first year it broken down about 4 times...a lot of people have said they've had a lot of engine problems and other things...
I agree with the first poster - get a Corsa - theyre fantastic and cheap to run etc

Get a Ka! I had one for my first car and it was great, and mine was a 2000 reg. Only problem to look out for is rust, which happens with a lot of older fords.

Not SAFE?!
I have a ford KA and i've never felt unsafe. Infact i think its a really nice car to drive. I love my KA
They do tend to suffer from rust though, so get it checked out before you buy.

Well, aside from them being pretty similar in size, a Corsa of that age is no safer in the ncap crash tests than a KA.
At that kind of age, assuming you want a small car, I'd be going for the KA/Fiesta or a VW Polo.
You're not going to get a useful answer here, as has been demonstrated people can't even stick to the options you've provided. Go and have a look at some, looking at a second hand car doesn't mean you have to buy it, to see what things you like and dislike about them. It's probably best to have a look at them at an auction or something like that if you can rather than waste someone's time though.
That's got nothing to do with whether the car is actually safe. Just because it doesn't wobble around all over the place doesn't mean it won't crumple like tin foil in a crash.
I'm not saying they do, the 3-star NCAP rating isn't terrible for a small car of that age (though the Clio has 4 stars), but your post is silly.

Personally, I'd rather a clio.

Whoops! I'm a bit new at this! :|
Got a Ka 1.3 and love it, never let me down. Thats not to say the Clio isn't a nice car too though, I'm sure you'd be happy with either as a first car.
Get the clio
I have a 2002 ka and i love it!
Don't go French :P
Don't go French :P
I'd get a KA over the Clio.
I hoping to get the new shape Corsa as my 1st car.. Do people think its worth it?? I might be travelling from London to Liverpool alot so I need a reliable car hehe
