This is all wrong, what people on a low budget should do is allow themselves to be sucked into an unsustainable loan on a 50k car bought from a dodgy wholesaler, without getting a mechanical inspection, at the age of 19. Then find all the issues. Ran into this persona the other day, he seemed really happy at the time, loved his car.

As a 1.4 Hyundai i20 owner, it's a super fun car to chuck about, it's super slow but that to me adds some fun to it building/keeping revs up, light direct steering, easy to drive and park, and it's cheap to run, what more could you want from a little runabout, even my V8 loving dad enjoys driving it around.
@@j_blinkster97 Auto. I don't really pay that close of attention, but I think I'm getting roughly 450-500 km from a tank of 91 fuel (basically the cheapest fuel on offer near me), I'm putting in around 35-45L of fuel, roughly $70-80 AUD to fill up. Putting that into a Litre per 100 km calc shows it's way off what Hyundai claimed when new, but it has 230,000 km on it and I live in a hilly area, so full or near full throttle is required quite a bit. I would recommend a manual if you're going to get one, I'd imagine it would drive nicer for sure, being able to control gears/revs easier means you can get the most from it without having to floor it to get it to down shift, I only got an auto since it's a daily shit box that's either in traffic or on the freeway, so it doesn't really matter.
Hello from England. I have a 2009 Suzuki Swift diesel. And what a bloody good car it is. As a single bloke with no kids, the lack of storage space just isn't an issue. I bought it about 3 months ago and only paid £500, about 880 Australian dollars for it. It had 149,790 km when I got it. Bargain.
Already have a 2016 Mazda 2 but in the rare sedan turbo diesel version. Brilliant. The 6spd AT is fantastic and the 250Nm leaves any 2.5li CVT driven shitbox in the dust. Also, runs on 1 molecule of diesel per week or 65-75 mpg.
I actually love the MK5 Fiesta 2007, the boxy little nugget I’ve had since 2007 and it hasn’t missed a beat. Got a 1.6l DOHC engine and it hauls butt in manual form. I’d be surprised if any on this list would be quicker except the Swift Sport. For a Ford it’s reliable but is a German made vehicle.
Shame you didn't mention the servicing requirements like 6 monthly or 12 monthly. This class needs another warning to. Make sure its not ex rental (most manuals won't be).
Own a 2014 1.5 auto jazz with the body kit. Added some 15s and love the car. Was an upgrade from an accord euro. Great car too but can't best the practicality and fuel economy.
Hammer Auto has nailed it again. Rooly like your videos guys. I'd happily own any of the cars recommended here, and agree with winner, the Jazz is the Swiss Army knife of cars, it's a reliable little Tardis.
I've had a 2014 i20 since it was 6 months old with only 6k kms and now has just clocked 101k. I admit the thing has been driven pretty damn hard, especially through out my p plater days but it's still going strong with no major issues at all. Only thing I have to pick at is the paint quality. Mine is silver and all the plastics, so bumpers, mirrors, handles, etc.. have faded and cracked like crazy. Mind you, it has been outside majority of the time I've had it, but have seen plenty of other silver i20s with the same thing. And the white ones tend have the paint flaking off the metal. But if you're someone who doesn't particularly care bout that, they're definitely a very cheap and reliable car to own.

Did have a small car, a Mazda Demio 2010 and even though I loved it, the safety rating was much to be desired. Now I have a beautiful Lexus GS300 2006, with a great safety rating not to mention all the bells and whistles! Btw, my Mazda Demio was listed as one of the most stolen cars by the NZ police in 2022! Dodged that bullet 🤣
I think everyone is sleeping on the Ford Fiesta XR4 (or ST150 as known in the UK). They have the same 2L motor from the Mazda 3 which has proven very reliable, weigh just a hair over 1000kg and a mint example can be found under 10k.
I did look at a post update 2 2005 before settling on my 2008 3 June 2021 and the bigger car had more km than liked but was a lot safer.I will admit bigness sucks but it saved my life
I appreciate this video and agree that these basic shopping trolleys can be a bit of fun to drive. However in many of your round ups like this you usually do a few different types / design ideologies. These cars all feel a bit samey.
Was quite surprised that the KIA Picanto didn't make the list or the Hyundai Getz but all the others are solid choices especially the Jazz which I know can take a ton of abuse from learner drivers(was the one I learnt to drive in). The Hyundai Accent, Honda Civic/City and Mazda 3 are 4 candidates I'd nominate for next week's list. Looking forward to Friday's video and I'm guessing that it's going to be an American or European car lol.
I have a 2005 getz 1.6L and I loved it. I only stopped driving it because it's a manual, but yeah it handles everything I threw at it and some more. I still have it because I can't bear to let it go just yet.
Another great video! Isn't the Mazda2 and the Yaris the same car? Thought I read somewhere that's why we didn't get the Mazda in the States. Can't wait to see the next one!
Mmmm....my daughter had a Jazz. Sure ...great use of space BUT wheel bearings were a nightmare. They were VERY expensive to replace...had something to do with the ABS system. What the dealer said that because the Jazz had great interior space and configuration it was often overloaded thus causing wear on the bearings.
imho the 2003-2007 mazda 2 dy are much better then the DE. Own a 2004 myself, test drove the DE kept coming back to the dy, more spacious definately, better dash layout, bigger boot/height, drives the same and significantly cheaper to buy. The only issue is terrible aftermarket support for the dy, cant even find a set of weathershields for them, its shocking
I owned a Hyundai i20 (2010), was a great car in manual. Only issue was it had failing paint primer like in 2010 Toyota's. Seems to affect mainly white painted cars. Would be obvious by now on cars as paint falls off in large flakes. Only solution is a respray.
Same with Red ones, affects many cars of that era. In general avoid Red and Black cars. I have a 2018 Hyundai i20 1.25L 85hp (Kappa II engine)and no issues so far with paint or any other things, its been a solid car and 0 warranty claims during the 75.000Km its done so far. Very good and relatively cheap cars compared to the Yaris or the Jazz

I have a Nc MX5 and find the 2.0 pretty dull compared to the 1.5 in the Mazda 2, so much so I'm getting a Mazda 2 - it's just a much nicer thing to live with and drive than the mx5
The yaris and the mazda 2 are basically the same car. My son had a honda jazz and got rid of it becoz theres a fuel filter behind the dash that has to be changed and it costs $billions to remove the dash and get to it. Thats what he was told. Spend $5K and get a 2009 Kia Rio. Bulletproof.

@@VASTOR grammar police! it’s a UA-cam comment not a uni paper. Yes that is partially true but the reality is their more refined and better handling cars while also being far superior in the event of a crash with more advanced traction systems and generally more airbags c200 vs an accord for example the Mercedes is safer my Volvo XC60 is far safer then any Japanese car ever made but hey I guess that makes me a pretentious wanker somehow because I didn’t buy a small cheap Japanese car to start with.
I have owned two first generation Mazda 2's. In the context of reliability, they are amazing. They're as good as, if not better than, anything that Toyota and Honda have to offer. Whilst I don't dispute anything presented by ReDriven, one of the advantages of the first gen over the later incarnations is that they are a Tardis. There is a huge amount of space in these things. The seat configuration is such that you can actually make quite a comfortable bed in them. I kid you not. They're also very "zippy" and thrashing them around town is not only a joy, but the car handles this sort of use impeccably. But they are not without fault. Road noise at freeway speeds is terrible. It's absolutely not a problem around town, but for sustained use on a freeway, forget it. If not garaged, the clear coat on metallic paints will fail. "Solid" colours last much better. My third and final complaint is the automatic transmission fitted to these machines. I've owned both a manual and automatic and I will tell you right now, I wouldn't recomend an auto to my worst enemy. The auto robs power like Ronald Biggs robs trains. It's got a mind of its own, and worst of all, the fuel efficiency in the auto is terrible. Aside from that, these cars are fantastic.
I have only driven the Honda Jazz from this list and it was the most horrible car I've ever been in. It drove poorly and was very uncomfortable. I shudder to imagine what the other cars are like if the Jazz is the best of the lot.
Very good selection! For anyone looking for a used car, as a rule stay away from European brands(French, German and Italian) crap. Sadly avoid any 2000 - > Nissan as well, they are crap era RENAULT/nissan, the Old Nissan Micra from the 90´s is a very solid car but very basic.

The Hyundai Getz, i10 and i20 are very reliable cars and most of them do not have the troublesome GDI engines (apart from the 1L TGDI i20).
Ok I noticed that you only talk about European market cars & Australian market cars never American markets cars or show American cars you do hint to it but I see it's a lot of bios opinions about cars being shown in America .. your channel you have a right to orchestra size your market but for that alone I will stick to ideal media/cars for car info
