Car for 60km highway per day

Hey, I’m starting my training from September in a city 30km away. I’ve already saved a lot of money and then in May I want to buy a car for my 18th birthday, which I will also use to get to work. Price is 4000-500€ at my disposal. If I have to, I can also borrow an additional 1000€. In my opinion, a small car is enough, but in no case as small as a VW Up. Rather in a Golf/Astra. I don’t really care. I did a bit of information, of course. I don’t want a Skoda Fabia, I don’t like it, I don’t like it. I was advised not to do a great A class. To the equipment: at 60km a day. Diesel or petrol? It shouldn’t be the biggest soap box with 75ps. Some driving fun or a “splashy” car should already be in it. In addition, a cruise control would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. What models can you recommend to me? I thought of an Astra from 2007 or a Hyundai i30 dear greetings Fabian
