Polo 9n3.
Drives like a bigger car than they are, really well built/solid feeling. Don't drive exciting though, comfy city car that can happily sit on the motorway. Whereas the newer 6r model drives better but honestly feel like a kia inside, not as good on main roads.Wouldn't bother spending much on a first car, you will ultimately kill it.

Hello car people. Should be getting my licence in the next couple of months, after giving up on it over a decade ago after a couple of failed attempts.
Looking at a first car now for 6am rides around the north circular and going on climbing/Sainsbury’s trips, visiting family up north etc. Started off looking at small things like Polos but now looking at stuff like Golfs, Seat Leons, Civics etc from 2007-2010.
Requirements:
Around £2.5k
5 doors
Not expensive to insure for a new driver in 30s.
Big enough to fit someone over 6ft
ULEZ compliant.
Seems to be lots available in that category. Lots of them have around 120k miles on them - is that an issue?
