Hi all,

I've recently passed my test and am now looking for a first car. I don't want anything too pricy as it's my first car but trying to figure out something that's reliable and cheap(ish) to insure.

Looks aren't a big concern for me yet, I'd prefer it was safe than modified/lowered etc. My understanding is trying to insure something that's over 10 years old is getting difficult, so maybe I want something newer?

Thanks!

a Ford fiesta would be a nice starter car , its expensive now more so than ever to insure older cars so you are better off getting one thats not over 10 years old if you can afford it , plus you dont want it letting you downbetter off spending a bit extra for a reliable car
