I can totally recommend buying a Mk. 3 or 4 Golf Diesel. They are cheap, cheap to insure, use next to no fuel and go decently well, definitely fast enough for a beginner even with the 90hp. Personally, i don't like mine any more because i find it too boring but i've been driving it for two and a half years (and i've driven many cars before that) and i'm now looking for something more fun. But as a first car it would be perfect. It's also very easy to drive, easy to park, easy to see out of and practical so why not? Plus, you won't have any problems with all the electric gadgets (like you get on newer cars) because it doesn't have any.
