Advice On First Car?

Redzer7

Alright lads, just learning how to drive and i'm just wondering what would be the best and cheapest 1.0 car to buy? Thanks lads.

best and cheapest are pretty much opposites.

the cheaper ones are cheap for a reason!

Micra will be very reliable, most have power steering plenty of choice out there too, so you're sure to find one for whatever your budget is.

Don't buy into the VW Polo thing, they're nowhere near as reliable as a Micra or Yaris, despite what VW fanboys will have you believe

Cheers mate.

1. micra
2. yaris
3. starlet (although dont look great)

that would be my list, i would choose the micra out of the list.

Ford Fiesta 1.25 litre is a pretty reliable car, nippy enough too. They are reasonably priced, cheap to service, parts are not expensive and plentiful.

And would it make a difference pricewise if i was trying to get insured on the Micra considering I'm young and only learning? What would be a reasonable price to get insured on it?

you'll have to ask the insurance companies that Redzer7.
go online and try a few to get a rough idea.

K11 or K12 Micra all the way!

Why wouldn't I be able to drive a Nissan GTR even if I ever got the chance? I swore never to get in a [CENSORED] Nissan again after learning to drive in an 03(?) [CENSORED] Micra. Micra FTEF!

Ford Fiesta is fun and practical, new-type Corsa is good too but probably way out of your (or my!) price range. Don't touch a feckin' 'Cento with a bargepole!
