I didn't think you even find cars this cheap

[DSG-farts-connoisseur]

man I keep admiring UK for just how cheap the cars are in there, it's pure insanity

golf mk4 GTI for 1000 pounds, that's just unreal money anywhere else in europe

[easydrive]

One that definitely needs to be on the list is the mk1 ford focus, even today it looks great, drives just as well as any new car and very reliable. You can pick them up for well under a grand!
What is clear to see is that many of these older cars in the list have lovely design to them still, in my opinion id say some look far better than todays new cars

[markbeards]

Excellent J.B. I knew you could do it. 👍👌

You *can* buy cars for £1k, but I'm 100% confident that most people shouldn't 😄 In 2005 it took me 4 test drives to find a car at my £1500 budget without a blown head gasket, so I ended up buying a Fiat which promptly disintegrated (except the head gasket). 18 years later, you've got to be able to work on cars yourself to be buying these, surely?

Having said all that, that Civic Type-S GT may be less powerful and worse to drive than the prior Type-S (which had 158hp, so 20hp more...WTF Honda), but the proportions are just right, it still looks futuristic and it'll probably not break, much! Plus the interior is in my top 10 ever, even if the materials are cheap. Genuinely serious fun too, I have a massive soft spot for that car, especially in that weird yet somehow really nice bronze colour they did. It actually bumps the MX-5 into 2nd spot on this list for me, sorry...

I'm glad you recognise that some are not ULEZ compliant. This is were most car presenters come unstuck! But good on you for making up for this. Cheers

I bought my e46 320d touring for 1995 and it was bob on just be careful with corrosion in general but especially the brake pipes and if they need replacing it’s 💰💰💰

[darrenmcgrogan]

i would have added the Honda Jazz. for first cars they are small but surprisingly extremely spacious inside, reliable engine & amazing on fuel economy. i have a 19 year old Jazz & a full tank lasts over a week even with motorway driving to & from work 6 days a week, still averaging 50+ mpg which is rather good a 2004.

let downs to a Honda Jazz is rust same as any Japanese car. keep an eye on the rust underneath, wheel arches & sills. engine wise as long as you maintain servicing regularly then like most Honda engines, they’ll keep going. if you have a vtec engine, pay most attention to the engine oil

Check the front chassis rails on the NB MX5, they rust badly and often need sorting.

YAS the cheaper the better! nuggets pls!

So which car would pick recommend? The first two cars in this car List?😊

[Backpfeifengesicht]

E46 and MX5 are water soluble and for 1k, both will be 94% rust.

[BenHall]

I had a streetka a few years ago. Fun little car with the roof down. Had no issues with rust but the thing went through discs and pads like no tomorrow plus I kept having to get the tracking done so it ate tyres too. I do miss it sometimes. Had real character and felt quicker than it was.

[wenzl]

i wish theese prices were global and not UK only, for example in my country which is even much poorer, all of those are more expensive. like miata doesnt go under 4k and all of those mentioned would be pure rustbuckets for theese prices here

[xXJIJIPONGXx]

I'd take the 2.2 civic over the 1.8 any day. Yes, they can eat clutches, but they're faster, more economical, cheaper to tax, and, if so inclined, can be mapped for some crazy power

Mini Cooper r50 should have been here, 8.6 0-60 and great handling
