Smart looking car for 3-5K?

[Tarmack]

A friend is looking to buy a used car in the coming months. He s not into cars though previously owned an R56 Cooper S, more for the look than anything else.

He only drives local journeys and more often than not doesn t require a car. Annual mileage would barely be a couple thousand. However he does want something for shopping and the odd trip away so is looking to spend 3-5K on a smart looking hatchback.

Likes the look of an A1 though doubt the value is good for a dressed up Polo. Doesn t really need any performance as above mainly city journeys of a few miles. Electric would be perfect if they were cheaper and he had a driveway. Suggested an Astra but not a fan of Vauxhall or Ford. Suzuki Swift is a contender

Astra GTC nice inside (if they can find one locally get them to have a look) & generally a good car:
