Cheap and reliable car up to 800-1000€

Hey ho, since I am currently looking for a reliable and cheap car because of my job, I wanted to hear a few comments here. So far I have always driven VW (each Golf 2 and Golf 3, is already something) and found the quite reliable, manco: insurance, fuel consumption and taxes. However, as I soon first start working and have some money available I did not necessarily want to buy a VW directly again, because I think I will only go to work for the car n. What’s it look like on the car market at the moment? What would you recommend to me? It is important to me that it is relatively cheap and reliable. Thanks already MfG // EDIT: Have just looked around and find the Rover 200 214 pretty chic and also seem relatively cheap – has an experience with Rover and can say what about it?
