I passed my test last June and that's when I purchased my car - a silver fordfiesta flight 1.3. After wanting the newer ford models and planning to save up and buy a different car for about 6 weeks i suddenly changed my mind after realising I actually loved the car I had and would be ever so sad to see it go. Its a brilliant first time car, the seats are comfortable, the clutch isnt heavy, the steering is light, it looks gorgeous inside when it is lit up at night. These cars are not too expensive neither, and dare I say quite reliable, my car hasnt broken down on me yet! (*touches wooden table*) Parts are relatively cheap as well as cost of transport. It will cost about 30 -35 quid (depending on the petrol prices) to fill up my car and it will last for about 2 weeks and thats with around an hours worth of driving everyday.
I would recommend this car to any first time drivers out there because it's simple, reliable and very lovable. I dont want to think about buying a newer car model anymore lol. Will be sad when I have to grow up fully and sell my car on. The handling on it due to the power steeing etc is very good, compared to my boyfriends rover it sails along the road quietly, easily and smoothly.
My car however, does not have front end fog lights - just rear foglights, though that doesnt bother me but it may bother a potential buyer.
The only disadvantages I could say about the car would be that theres not a great deal of room in the back although it seats up to five it would probably be quite cramped, depending on the size of the people however. Also, the tax on it however its quite expensive, i pay £93 for six months!!!! That's the one bad thing I could say about this model but thats about it......! Insurance is not horrendous, I pay 1300 a year keeping in mind i am an 18 year old female, it was my first ever car and the car is only 7 years old etc. These cars also have manufactured fitted immobilisers on them which is great because nobody can start your engine without the Key present =]
Overall for smoothness, reliability, fuel efficiency, this car is highly recommended for a first time buyer, I shall be genuinely sad to see it go when it comes to it.
Thanks for reading anyhow.
