Sup /o/. Greetings from /wg/ browser. It is I've come for your advice, expertise, and experience. I'm getting my first car. I'm a London chap moving to a smaller town for work and to get my newborn son out of the city and into a nicer part of England and need a car suitable for the job. I'm not a car enthusiast and don't pretend to be so. I'm 29, had a career driven life style, and been busy in the city where I had not needed a car, but the time had come to actually put my license to use.

I'm looking for a car that looks good, easy to maintain, and is economical-ish to run. I'm a big fan of the looks of the Honda civic, BMW 1 series, and the MG ZR (face-lift version) but know that the MG is a bad choice considering my lack of knowledge on cars.

So in your opinions, which is best for my needs? All cost roughly the same to buy, the BMW is a tad cheaper to insure for me but will I make that up with maintenance and running costs?

Help me, /o/, you're my only hope.
