    How old are you?
    How long have you been driving?
    Where do you live?
    How long is your journey to work?
    Would you do other driving?
    Is £3000 just for the car or is it for insurance too?

    How many miles per year?
    Saloon, hatchback, 3 doors, 5 doors, estate, SUV, sports car? Petrol, diesel, manual, automatic?
    Without the most basic info no-one can give advice.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    From thinking back to my first car I would say don't spend all of your budget. Keep say £500 back for any unexpected repairs.

    But as said, if you are after advice on models and such then more details will be required.
