Ford Ka, hands down!
I learnt to drive in a C2, and i thought it was a really nice car, very nice interior, and in black it doesn't look that bad from the outside either.
I'm tempted to by myself a Suzuki Swift, purely because they look mint as fook!

The swift may be a bit plasticky inside for most people but it's a solid car and cheap to run, etc. Considered buying one myself 
Clio is a bit light on the steering at speed and not really a motorway cruiser, otherwise good.
C2 is a cheap runabout for around town, suffers from the same as the clio on motorways/at speed. Depending on the model it can also be cramped in the back.
Wife has a Picanto, cheap on road tax/insurance, etc. and quiet on the motorway/at speed. I would recommend that. I'm 6ft and can comfortably drive it and get in the back, room for a labrador in the boot (with parcel shelf off).

get a 206 if your gunna go french. even better, get a worn out metro for £300, save up and buy a proper car
Yeah I thought that. Bought a banged up 205. It was all good until some uninsured child decided to write it off for me. = No payout.
brought a clio
£3800 is quite steep for a first car, especially a 1.2 Clio, I'm assuming your parents paid?
I'm currently using a 1.6 Peugeot 206 I got for £1600, perfect condition and runs like a dream.
As far as first cars go mine was a 1.2 Corsa I purchased for £300, I also learnt in one which is probably what made me buy it, A very common and reliable beginners car I believe, It certainly treated me well.
:middle:
no i paid, yeah but if ya dont pay the money for the decent car then your gunna be spending money on a car that you brought for 400 quid fixing it. so in the long run. ill win....
No, you geta cheap car, use it for a year, then once its fooked, flog it and loose about £100 on it.
thats what i did.
