Heh mate, you find this shocking, my mate went and bought himself a wee Renault Clio the other day, the first people he went to quoted him 7 grand! For a freaking 1.2 Clio that's pretty ridiculous! Anyway, why not buy a jag as your first car, they're awesome! Though I have to agree with Psi, automatic = ugh. Manual is the way to go (he only reason I say this is because they're faster.)
