What's the best cheap car for a young driver?

I'm looking to buy a car that's new and nice, but cheap on insurance and tax.
I am 18 years old. What should I buy?

Citroen C1, Peugeot 208, Toyota Aygo, all with the low power 1.0 engine.

Efficient and punchy turbocharged engines, bold and upmarket styling, classy interior especially the higher trim levels.
Cheap to run, improved interior quality and refinement over previous C1, available with retractable fabric roof, decent at motorway speeds.
Plenty of kit as standard. Quirky looks. Very reliable.
