What small car should I buy?

I have spent some time now looking into what small car to buy (24yo and my first car), it is proving difficult because there is so much out there and a lot of conflicting information from my friends and family. Wish it was a little simpler! Ok I wanted to buy a new car except because it is my first car, some people think that its a better option to buy a recently second hand car. So I am quite confused! Not sure where to start, really need one for only social reasons as I catch the bus to and from work and enjoy walking most places otherwise. I am interested in perhaps a Volkswagen Polo because it is European also maybe a Smart car. Understand servicing is a huge consideration for me too. Thank you for your help in advance!!!!

1987 Supra worth the buy?

for sale near me is a 1987 Toyota Supra.
the description for the ad goes as follows:

"87 Toyota Supra 5 speed manual with a 89 turbo inline 6 cylinder motor in it. Does not run. Needs cams, downpipe, and put back together. No title."

my question is, for the $500 they want, could this be worth it?
if so, approximately how much could i expect to pay to get this up and running? i have a brother-in-law who is a mechanic and could help me put everything together, i'd just have to pay for the parts.

any help would be appreciated!
thanks!

Which bike to buy in 150cc segment. Yamaha FZ-S, Honda Unicorn Dazzaler, Bajaj Pulsar, TVS Apache.?

I've chosen Yamaha FZ-S but I want to know if it is worth buying because I
have heard that this bike doesn't give decent average. Is there any other bike in this segment worth buying for?
My opinion on other bikes in this segment:
1. Honda Unicorn Dazzaler: Not satisfied with the looks.
2. Bajaj Pulsar: I hate Bajaj because I already own a Bajaj bike and I'm not at all satisfied with the quality.
3. TVS Apache: Same story as Bajaj.
4. Hero Hunk & CBZ: Quite old and common on the roads and also look very plane and boring.
Also I'm not considering Yamaha R15 and Honda CBR150R as their price is out of my budget.
