The fastest one with the lowest insurance bracket ratio...
Tbh mate at 17 you ain't gonna be driving anything fun. My first car was a Mk2 golf at age 21. Insurance was 2k. Car cost 500.

Chrome D's are tempting but '67 was Cheverolet's best year.

For your first car at 17, you cant get much better than a micra.
Bear in mind that at 17, you arent going to be driving anything amazing.

I'd rather have a Cinquecento/Seicento Sporting. Pretty much the most fun you can have at 17. Car in good condition, insurance and some spending money for less than £2,500.

Wish I had done that.

I think the better car for young persons isn't small tiny hatchbacks, a better car would be a Ford Mondeo or something a bit heavier but with the lowest engine output. Heavier car plus low power output equals a far safer car.
