What car? (Good opportunity for mocking...)

[Stupidlikeafox]

Hi all.

I'm coming to the end of my degree and have been lucky enough to have secured a job for September. This will mean however I need something a bit more capable for commuting than my first car, which is a 1.2 Corsa!

I have a maximum of £7k to spend, and want something reliable, comfortable, and (here's the embarrassing part) automatic! I want an auto as I hate driving in town traffic, and also places I don't know, and feel more comfortable in an auto. Don't ask me why, I just do!

So what are my options? I'd prefer it to be a larger car (no Polos etc) and capable on the motorway, but not rape me on fuel and insurance (I'm only 20).

And yes, I will hand my PH card in on the way out.

Cheers ears.

I like the look of both of those, but I think it may fall down on the insurance front.

It doesn't have to be that exciting, just something I know will be half decent (i.e not a Honda Jazz or similar).
