My son hits 17 at the end of the month and has already got his provisional licence and keen to get his wheels, especially as we live in the middle of no where.
Next step is getting him a few lessons and then a car, first to practice in (as neither my wife not I have manual cars), and then for him to keep.
I have looked at all the usual suspects
Fiat 500
Hyundai 110
Ford Ka and Fiesta
VW Up/Polo, Skoda Citgo, Seat,
Toyota Aygo/IQ
Citroen C1, Peugeot 108 etc.
So far have found a nice little One Owner 2013 Fiat Panda 1.2 with 80k for £2.5k, but am interested in the forum's thoughts. Unsurprisingly there are quite a few Cat S/N that also look quite good value assuming they have been fixed correctly.
