First car - any suggestions?

[Jonasbrothers]

Been driving in parent's car since varsity, finally looking to buy my own.
Budget looking at R 250 000, possibly to R 300 000

Any suggestions? Also how much would insurance be? Didn't have insurance before and over age 25.

Been looking at the following models, but any suggestion welcome..
BMW 3
Audi A3
Benz A class
VW Polo / Golf

If you can afford to maintain the BMW, Audi or Merc then by all means, otherwise, go with Japanese.

Wow times have changed, my first car was a 74 cortina rustbucket that burnt more oil than petrol.

Agreed.

However, it sounds like the OP is in his thirties. Most of us got our first car at 18.

If BMW is your thing, get a Z4, and enjoy the mountain passes in the Cape.

Get a second hand Toyota.

Why?

The OP can get a brand new Gav mobile for under R300k. At his budget that's what I'd go for.
