Have been thinking about maybe a Suzuki Jimny/Jimny o2 or even a Daihatsu Copen...

Isn't that Suzuki a little crude?
If you're never going to offroad stick with a car.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Copen comes across as a bit ghey, but I think there is some serious fun to be had there, low centre of gravity, low weight, rev-happy engine, and a sub-10sec 0-60mph time (good for a 17yr old in England)

Yeah, I couldn't put myself in a StreetKa, that crosses the Ghey barrier, I would so take an MX-5, but sadly the Insurance grouping is out-of-range, the Copen JUST about gets in.

Crude off Roader?
Might as well go as crude as possible. Jeep Wrangler Diesel.
So long as you don't mind looking homosexual.

Update: Most likely a 2003 VW Polo 1.2/1.4 S/SE/Twist or a 2002/2003 SEAT Ibiza S 1.4
Parents choices, but I'm not complaining. At all. Mum's likely to get a 2008 SEAT Leon 1.4TFSI 140bhp (2.0TFSI is only in the FR/Cupras, the next most powerful petrol is the105bhp 1.6, we don't want a TDI)

I'm not fussed either way to be honest, I prefer the looks of the Polo and the interior, also the 1.4 is a 75bhp 16v whereas the SEATs is a 60bhp 8v. but the SEAT does have digital climate control and remote locking over the Volkswagen. Polo is probably more likely as my parents really really like my girlfriends. I've not noiced the Polo's driving position, when I drive it I sit really far forwards so as not to mess up her seat position (I only ever move it around on the driveway and stuff) she looks like she sits very low but I think that's more how she likes it as I sit up high in the passenger seat, it does have a very long clutch which feels very odd when coming from my current car.
