hey and elcome to the site. its not problem youve not got a car.
best bet is something older with a small engine under 1.4 otherwise insures will just skin you dry. i started out with a 1.1 fiesta and it was a lovely car to learn to drive in. also gave me something to learn mechanical skills on, (oil sparks leads dizzy brakes etc) and it wasnt too bad on insurance think it was £700 a year. not the fastest car mind you timed it at 17 seconds to 60, that and it drank as much oil as it did petrol
