  • is the Baleno and Nubira any good? seem to be similar prices, but with less mileage
  • also for your sort of budget its more important to choose a good example of a car rather than a specific car

    Keep your eyes peeled on local ads etc

    Insurance is maximum £600 per annum

    I have been looking at Suzuki Baleno and Daewoo Nubira


    Have you actually got quotes for these cars or any car? 600 might be optomistic!

    Newly passed your test and I am assuming quite young I think you need to get some sample quotes for insurance. I think you'll be in for a bit of a surprise and could be around £1,200 and if you were a bloke £2,000!!!

    Skoda Felicia estate. Cheapish insurance for 1.3 model, big boot, and the rear seats actually easily remove rather than just fold forward. Safety options like airbag and ABS were available. You'll also have no trouble picking up a very good and tidy example for under £1000.
