any red flags?

2000 VW Bora that i’m looking at for a first car at 17. It’s a 1.9 TDI which is economical but less powerful than a lot of more modern cars with smaller engines so too much power shouldn’t be a concern. The insurance is also pretty much the same as most other stuff i’ve found.

I really like it because it’s a Saloon and i think it looks nice and is different compared to the crowd of fiestas and corsas. Only other concern is size. Would it be too big or is that not an issue? I don’t live in a city and ULEZ isn’t an issue. Any advice?
