Friend of mine needs a run around, shes currently got a 1.6 51 plate megane which needs some MOT work and is killing her on insurance. In the mean time she's looking at getting something that meets the following criteria.

£500 ish budget
Cheap to insure
Will be a daily hack to and from work, 10k a year
She has a 3 month old so no citreon AX's or the like.

So far got to VW Polo and thats about it.

Any other ideas?

Something small-engined and anonymous would be best to keep the insurance cheap.

Agree with those sentiments but that 25 is hardly anonymous with a huge dent in the passenger door!

Fair point, but £500 is bangernomics territory.

Best to just buy the cleanest car you can find with the longest MOT.
