Skoda Octavia
Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI Ambiente, 2004, 69,000, £4,995
A few years on and with miles on the clock, you can still appreciate the fine Skoda build quality. Then there's the space: far more than you'll get in the Golf built on the same underpinnings, and with a similar engine-range. Bigger than a Golf, and better value too.
Subaru Impreza WRX
Subaru Impreza WRX Estate, 2001, 79,000, £4,995
If you want a bit of fun, we'd recommend this bug-eyed, rally-bred, all-wheel drive, 215bhp riot - no humdrum hatch, you'll find yourself driving it just for the sheer enjoyment.
