for that price isnt the audi likely to be the one with the safety issue? and the slk the rusty ones?

The swifts are decent but i'd stick with a sport as the engines seem stronger and less prone to issues.
With the Polo make sure its got good history, they aren't bullet proof either but there is an engine thats stronger than the others and i cant recall if its the 1.0 , 1.2 or 1.4..... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

Micra?
Got one for son and heir bullet proof safe and they do sporty versions in girly colours. Shape bit like fiat 500 and should get a good one for the budget. Mine was a blue one!

Loads of used mx5's around at that kind of money

What's not to like, convertible, some outlandish colours, sporty, bullet proof, cheap to service, no too sure on insurance tho.... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

There were no safety issues on TT's people (4 people) crashed making lane change manoeuvres at 130+ mph and Audi recalled all cars and changed added ESP and adjusted the suspension - excellent cars for the money  Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White
