    I have a vRS, but a Octavia great buy.

    You can get these for sub £3000 now and great motors. I do 300-400 miles per week and driven carefull return great MPG.

    So a nice looking small car. Does it need to be powerful or economical? Reliable or beautiful (the two rarely go together)? Does he have solid germanic taste or a liking for cheap plastic?

    Honda Jazz

    the op specifies not old man-ish looking.

    i would say the honda jazz is the benchmark for old man-ish looking! ;)

  • golf tdi? It's small looks ok performs well enough and you can get decent one for that price now if you shop around. Only thing is they are common. Other than that Seat Leon tdi.
    I'd defo recommend a tdi for the miles he does. But depends on what his priorities are i.e. looks, fuel, old, new, common, unique etc
