something small and slow so you dont kill yourself/someone a week after passing your test ;)
 
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
 
Alright mate....welcome to TorqueCars. Don't worry about not having a car! I would advise that you got yourself a low engined car just like pgarner mentions above. I had a 1.0 Corsa and I really 'learnt' how to drive (they say that you get taught how to pass a test, then you learn to drive).

What car are you learning in? What do you think of it?
 
im learning in a grande punto not queit sure about the spec's on it, all i know is that it is a turbo diesel. At the moment its the first car i've driven and to me it seems ok, but like i said i haven't had any experience with anything else to compare with.

Whilst thats true it will give you a view on whether or not to buy a diesel and whether or not you would buy a Punto.

All in all it seems like a nice car it has good power for getting up hill and things like that. But im not sure if i would buy one or not because im into more classic cars like the classic Mini's and VW Campers.
 
Not a bad car to learn in, definately harder to stall than a petrol, and hell, it wont be too shabby.

Welcome to the forums - how long to go till your test?

The lesson went ok apart from the fact i had to switch into a Hyundai Amica because the punto was going in for some work. And I don't know if any one on here has drove one but it felt horrible to drive compaired to the punto.

And on the Mini front i think its a Austin Mini im looking for with a 1000cc engine, not sure tho I have not really look into it much yet.
 
hiya! welcome to site, im a newbie too!
Good luck with your test!
And looking for a car!

Hay
 
Ure mini 1000c would be a giood start - grip like hell and then engine would be quite good power/weight ratio and insurance :D
 
Given the current cost road fuel and other motoring costs I'd consider not bothering having a car at all :)

Gordon 'f.....' Browb needs to get his act together swiftly.

Anyways - welcome to Torque Cars
