A friend of mine is looking for a new car, having had his last one written off. His main criteria are....
Max £4000
Cheap to insure and run
Reliable - has to do a 50 mile round trip every day
He is looking at Rover 200s!! He's in his early 20's so I don't think that this is a good idea - he's not ready for a flat cap yet.
My suggestion is a Smart Car, which i have seen available for just under 4000, but what do you guys think? I can trust you to come up with some more interesting suggestions than a Rover 200!

My BMW 325i touring cost just £3,750, just had a quote for insurance from e-sure of £382 (depends on your freinds circumstance) Just about to get it serviced (non BMW dealer) £89. See profile for more details, all expenses are listed
Reliabilty - I had a bug with the electric windows but nothing to stop it moving.
I drive all over the country to karting events and it is great for motorways and just popping up the shops. I often have to drive to Birmingham, Dorset, sussex, Northampton etc and back in a day (im SE London) no problem.
If insurance is still high there are some very nice 318i tourings around
