Id just opt for a Golf Mk4 1.6 or something along them lines. Not to special, just nice & simple.
I know it sounds sad but I'm thinking Skoda fabia td's for some reason will be adiquate if I can get one for a grand.
Golfs around a grand will have high mileage I suppose but if it's been well maintained it's another good shout.
It's hard though when your wanting a little bit of performance but have naff all brass, depressing really when your nearly 35 and cannot afford even a Nova

Peugeot 205 gti.Galvanised chassis ftw+good looks and performance out of the box.
I can understand the "performance" ones ie gte/gsi/sri/sr's being worth alot,but a 1200 merit etc is fukkin ridiculous at £700+ imo.You can buy so much more car for your money in an Xr2 or similar,yeah it will need work but its ALWAYS going to be worth more than a sh1tty merit
I've been looking at 205 1.9's but I'm running away fast, saw a nice L reg in white on eBay though.
