Thank you for answering my question , this won't only benefit me but many other people whom have similar questions in the future. 11/05/15
I'm a male if that matters. Hello later this month i will be turning 17 , I've never been in attendance of a driving lesson however, i have been behind the wheel on private land a number of times practicing the basics so it can be fair to say i'm not an absolute amateur.
In addition i have been studying the theory books as far back as 2005 ( yes I've always wanted to drive ) so they theory exam "should" be "easy"
Car usage
- Not use for commuting to 6 form
- possibly lots of motorway events ( depends if plane ,train or bus is cheaper )
- 5-10 miles would be my most common driving session mileage
- I guess mainly just I will be in the car , but extra passengers very possible
Insurance
The area of London i live in has shockingly high insurance due to it being a place with one of the highest general insurance claims in the UK , so everyday i'm getting quotes using auto-trader ( cars) and compare the market for ( insurance ) but the popular hatchbacks for my age are expensive REALLY EXPENSIVE.
Budget
CAR = £1000 on car although i don't mind going up to £2000
INSURANCE = monthly and as low as possible ( no budget on it yet ) less than £2000 would be ideal
Estate Cars and Saloon Cars CAN SAVE ME?
So many people my age will not be looking at these cars for a number of reasons , so i was wondering is there a gap in the market in which i may sneak up an affordable larger car with cheaper insurance ?
Are LARGE Cars Unwise for new drivers?
Please recommend Cars ( BELOW )
is a Saab unreasonable?
Mondeo or Vectra?
