Eurofag here on low budget. I got my driver's license recently, and for the summer I used my dirtbike to get around in my small city quickly, but for the winter I plan to get my first car. I'm planning on getting a Swift from around 2001-2003, they are cheap as fuck, easy and inexpensive to maintain. I know it wont bear much prestige but other than that are there any downsides to it if I have a tight budget?
Pros: >Dirt cheap. >Plenty to choose from, easy to find a near mint one. >Extremely fuel efficient. >Easy to maintain and maintenance costs are low.
Cons: >It's not a BMW 31X XX Compact I planned as a first car which would be more fun and better looking.
what cunt what budget whats gas and insurance prices

It's a good choice. Americans know and love it as the Geo Metro.

Be sure to get the fuel injected 1.3 litre engine with 86hp and you will most likley outrun the 316 and some of the 318 compacts.The Subaru Justy has AWD, which adds to the fun in wet/snowy conditions but will make the car a little slower.

Pretty good. Also obligatory Twingopost.
Oliver Evans
But the Twingo is slow. Wont be able to go 150kmh+ on dirtroads, hence it will not be able to provide the desired fun.

Look for a Subaru Justy. It's a Swift, but it's AWD.

hungary? get a swift then if you're ok with early 90's design, safety and rustproofing. Heard that gearboxes in those like to shit themselves so watch out for it.
Cooper Harris
IIRC the Swift was assembled in Hungary so you're probably right in wanting to get one. Nissan Micra Mk.2 (K11) is also a good choice if you want a cheap and reliable car.

>But the Twingo is slow. 16V version has 75hp, which isn't terrible for a sub-900kg car.
