    My first car was a Rover 214, even a car that dull was seriously pricey to insure (I.E. more than the car was worth)...

    So I am soon going to be taking my driving test and I'm not saying I will be passing first time but it looks promising! Anyway so I was wondering what cars you would advise were good for a first time driver? I am looking at a VW Polo or a Fiat Punto (I'm learning in a Grande Punto and I really like it as a car). My dad isn't really helping to be honest so I just need a little bit of advice about what people think make good cars for first time drivers?

    Really depends on what your budget will be; what use you will put it to; what diy car maintenance skills are available to you, and where you live in relation to dealers for spares?

    In other words, more info required. Good luck with the test anyway.
