First cars for new drivers: what are the criteria?

Posted: Sep 12, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 131 |

When you have just passed your driving test you feel on top of the world and can't wait to rush out and choose your first car. However, you need to slow down and choose your car carefully because insurance companies are very hard on new drivers, so buying a car with a large engine or a high price tag isn't a good idea.

Luckily there are many cars from which to choose that offer you safety and low cost insurance, coupled with that need for drive that first time drivers always crave.

Some ideas for cars for first time drivers include the Vauxhall Corsa, Astra and Nova. The Corsa is a classic car and a favourite among young drivers because it's cheap to run, yet packs enough power to impress your friends.

Equally the Nova offers affordability yet maintains that all important ‘cool' factor because of its pedigree and manoeuvrability.

If it's a larger car that you're after then the Vauxhall Astra could be to your liking. The Astra is more of a family car, so would be ideal if you had a lot of friends you wanted to drive around, or if your parents insist that you buy a more practical car.

Whichever car you choose, remember that your budget should always be the key and keep an eye on the insurance brackets of cars before you make any purchasing decisions.
