You know, one of the 5 Cs all Singaporean women look for:
1)Condo
2)Car
3)Credit card
4)Cash
5)Country club
So anyway, buying a car is like maybe like marrying a woman, you wanna get it right the first time. You want something reliable, long lasting, low-maintenance, comfortable to ride and preferably something that doesn't depreciate too much with a decent second hand value (boy can I feel the frowns already...)
Seeing that I am not Abramovich's "godson", here are, in my opinion the top choices for a student start-up ride (of course when he uses his head to buy a car, and not his heart or his balls).
Mmm-hmm. This is really a car one would buy with his head. Ford Fiestas are sinfully cheap to run and maintain, doesn't look too fugly, great to buy second hand and holds its value well. And hey, it's British made after all. Not that that's really a plus point.
Second in line, but certainly not second in class. The Nazi-made super mini VW Polo is actually a compromise to the much desired Golf. Costs slightly more to run and maintain than the Ford, but hey, if you wanna buy a car, it oughta be German. Might even score better if you're seen riding this well built baby (obviously not refering to myself).
Here is Nissan's answer to the student focused supermini class rides, the funky looking Micra. Its looks might not cater to everyone in the audience, but to me it has a "beetlish" look about it and looking like the cult status VW Beetle can't be all a bad thing. Reasonable to run and maintain, and packed with features like greeting you upon entering and wishing you on your birthday has to earn some brownie points. Some models even have keyless-go on them, now that's some luxury to be drooled at in this class of cars.
A lot's been said, so I'm hoping that I'll get some opinions, heck even throw in some rides that aren't mentioned. Who knows you might get me thinking ;) Cheers!

if you are talking about boren getting a car, it got to be ford. it's cheap that his wallet can maintain and it's not too funky till it doesn't match his face. But, we are talking about kevin getting a four wheels here. It has to offer more than a comfortable ride! I can only imagine yourself in either golf or mirca..
haha wat the... actually the ford is a smart buy le...
i also want the golf la but unfortunately u think "buttock print money meh" like joanne :p
The Ford looks like the most practical of the 3... And I think I've fallen in love with Vauxhalls as well.. the Corsa looks pretty nice, I think!
Wait a minute... this means you're getting a car? *note to self: be nice to Kev* :D
Hmm.. thx yp, haven't really checked the vauxhalls out.. will keep that in mind :)
thx!
Ford is American, Kevin.
whoops, really? I thought Henry Ford was British. Crap.
FIESTA rox!
