Ideal first car for 17 year old in 2022

[shrops-paul]

Hi. Im 45 and have no kids so not pretending to be an expert However I'd suggest whatever your shortlist becomes, you check the Ncap test scores. Some of the cheaper/plasticey cars score quite poorly, particularly if they are older. My first car was a VW jetta - not a cool as a golf so cheaper to insure. It was a great car and easy to get spares form the local scrappy.

To close out my choice .... I found a nice Fiesta.  It's a 3 door in white, which is what my grandson wanted.  The engine is 1.25 Zetec,and it drives nicely without being a ball of fire!  Insurance is £1219, and won't go up when he passes his test.
