What's a good student car?

[Bresder]

Price within the range of R50k or below. Something that can also travel and also safe.

Hyundai getz

I looked online and found one but it costs above 50k

Why is that when someone doesn't have a car in South Africa it's as if life is impossible?

Might have to buy higher mileage ones in the range.

Other might have to look at the ATOS.

Haval something for R50k? I never had idea they lose value so fast.

Opel Corsa B or C and as already metioned the Getz, if you can find it.

I know plenty people who drive or have driven a Toyota Yaris, I don't understand why it is lumped together with a Polo.

Corsa C or Honda Jazz.

The Corsa B is also good but getting a bit long in the tooth and most of them are properly trashed.

Yeah, I included it only because he is most likely to come across it below 50k, Unless it's private deals he will struggle to find a C or a Jazz for 50k.

last I looked you can definitely get a clean Corsa C or Jazz in the R50k range or even less, milage normally over 200k but either of those will run to 350k if looked after.

Perhaps a Corsa, the Jazz at over 200k kms are still over R50k. He can find one but as I said it won't be easy and it will most probably be in a bad condition.

Yes, people have become more civilised, they now start on a Golf.

Yeah not much better then a beetle to be honest.

Is this car safe? I see it everywhere but...

Not the the best, most models of the Corsa C have a drivers airbag though and power steering, some also have an aircon and Abs.

Honestly hard to beat a Corsa C especially if spares and labour costs are factored in, most mechanics can work on them and spares are widely available and cheap.

Nah, that was not meant as a serious comment, stay away from a Golf.
