Must be cheap to insure in her own name. very safe..She is going to hit another car thats for sure.... And manual.



Saab or merc 180/190 or something else?/

Are they not a bit big for a first car?

How about something like a Mk.3 Golf - solid, not too big, and most don't have enough poke to get you into any trouble!

My Sister in law totalled one, rolled it and came away battered bruised and sore but alive, their other car is a Pug 106, wonder if that would have protected her as well as the Golf ?

How about an Audi A4 tdi they are very good buys and cheapish to run. :)

How about one of these?

Why not try a Skoda, there are plenty on Autotrader website.

They should be cheap to insure and being part of VW, they should be pretty robust.

Hi Luke,

Depends on your budget, but my wife has a 1994 Toyota Rav 4 and loves it. She changed her MX 5 for the Rav and would not have anything else - very very safe, great to drive and four wheel drive.

We have had the car since January of this year and it has been 100% reliable.

Great car to get all the shopping in!

Richard

go for the merc they are real cheap now and pretty reliable

your wife will get a bit of street cred too :D

Get her a Yaris. We have got one thats 18 months old, and apart from a few ml of oil and a 65 quid 10000 mile service it has cost nowt.

Runs on fresh air and is very comfortable for a small car, theres far more room in the back than my Clio. You can get loads of shopping in cos you can slide the back seat forward to give more boot space.

Its got to be cheap!!! I am not looking forward to been a passenger......... Golf does sound good.

Of course, you could easily have a ng900 (Saab) for buttons, very solid classy car, but perhaps not very suitable for a first car - heavy clutch and quite bulky. Reckon a mk3 Golf is still the best idea.

I think you should get her something left hand drive just for the fun of it, see how it goes!!!!LOL!!!!

yea and send her to france till she can drive properly :D

yep then let her loose, mi dad had to get used a trans-am on the m1 in friday rush hour in the rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Why not get something smaller, such as vw lupo/polo?
