We've come to that stage in life where our eldest lad is about to get his license...
I don't work much anymore or need to lug three kids around so my big estate will be getting sold off and my wife's car with be our main car.
So looking at option for a wee car for me to buy and put our lad being on the insurance for his first year or two (then it would be my daughters turn).
It seems to be a bit of a lottery as to how insurers rates this type of car in each situation (depends on their previous years stats on any particular car model). I'm wondering if there's older cars that may actually be worth looking at ...as in 15+ years old...as I don't mind working on cars myself etc. Lighter cars with smaller 1.0 - 1.2 litre engines that can still be zippy. Lots of fun can be had ringing out a wee engine on our roads.
Although, maybe I just buy a 5 year old Fiesta with the least powerful engine!
