Now have this... Not as fun but it is good on fuel and got a few options. Plus insurance is only £1000.

I had mine yesterday 😁 I passed with 2 minors.

All I can say is if you make a mistake during the exam, DO NOT give up. I was certain that I failed when I touched the corner during a reverse round a corner, but I ended up passing! Also do lots of practice before the test, but its only 40 mins, its over in a blink! 😉

Good luck again!

"only £1000" HUH I NEVER HAD TO PAY THAT MUCH
Here's my first and current car. (Purchased Jan 2015)
- 2007 1.2 Fiat Grande Punto. Bought at 63000 miles, now clocked over 75000

Insurance is cheap with my first year being £750 with Tesco Bank Box, after two years, it's now £560.
