I currently own a mint condition '95 WRX with low miles, it is my only car,along with regular foot to the floor blasts, I use it for a short daily commute and to go to the gym in, the gym is in a real rough area, I am considering buying a real cheap runaround <£300, to eliminate worries of leaving the scoob in undesirable locations and to give it a break from some of the short trips! I need something thats cheap to insure, cheap to run and wont mind too much being left outside over the winter - I dont care how it drives or what it looks like as long as its cheap and reliable - any ideas gratefully recieved!

One of the guys on i-chat has been running a £300 Polo for at least at year. AFAIK, nothing has gone wrong with it either.

Cool

I've got my self a VW polo for running around in, it's a 1990 and done 145000 mile on it's 1.0L engine and runs sweet as a nut, passed it mot no problem, the bodywork on VW is a lot more solid than a fiesta or nova. Just remember when you approch a rounderbout which car your driving!
