Don't get a 306 get a KA

[Niall]

Nah, sorry but ka's are good motors. Yes, they rust but if you can find a clean one and don't expect the handling of a 306 they're a good first car. Plus they're cheap as f*ck to run and insure.

This.
Yes, they rust for fun and you will come outside one day to a pile of brown dust after a heavy rain storm but they are stupidly cheap to run, tiny so ideal for new (read, not so confident) drivers and they are actually really good fun to drive in a strange way!
