i've just got my 1st car. it was £700 and cost £500 to insure, breakdown and windscreen cover. it costs £35 to fill up and that lasts me forever. it's a nissan micra by the way. it is in perfect condition and runs amazinglingly, it's really nippy. i love it x x x

get an old BMW or Volvo. The new ones are expensive but you can get the old ones for a lot less. I would recommend a 1980 volvo or a 70's BMW. They're normal in size, and the up side is that they're safe in a collision because they're old and heavy and durable.You've probably seen them around as they're quite flash and dead gorgeous. I'm getting one when I finish my lessons.

Got myself a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXi it's a great car and if you hunt about you can pick up a good one (the newer shape C) for about 1.5kAnd the older style B's can go from anything from £200 to 1k and they are good wee cars!The Fiesta is a great little car aswell, only problem I found was the insurance was very high, and I could insure a Focus 1.8 - 2.0 for the same/cheaper! This compared to an Insurance Group 2-3 Corsa, Vauxhall won me over.Fuel economy is good aswell, but I would recommend a diesel as its benefits way out the cost of the fuel. Corsa 1.2 Petrol (300ish miles to a tank) Corsa 1.3 CDTi Diesel (600ish miles to a tank (so I've heard))Hope this gives you some food for thought!p.s Good luck in your test.
