What is the best car with low insurance costs and the best safety rating for a young 17 yr old learner driver?
I am looking to buy a new, or possibly up to about 3 year old, car for my daughter, soon to be 17, to learn to drive in. The car will be in her name and so I am looking for something safe, but also as inexpensive to insure as possible. Has anyone gone through this process recently and so can provide me with any experiences or advice generally?- any car with small engine. but for the insurance go to web money supermarket.com you will get quotes from lots of car insurance company's but i bet QUINN'S come out on top THEY ARE BY FAR THE CHEAPEST
- I would wait till she p es her test as the insurance for a learner driver is very high, you can be talking not far of £1000. 00 per year one thousand Pound it took my daughter 4 years to p her test. I have a ford KA and its great, can you not buy it and insure it in your name and her name added as a learner driver under 25 year old
- thats an easy question. low insurance comes with a car that has a small engine / fuel capacity eg 1. 1 to 1. 4ltr are cl ed as small engines. A 1. 1 would be your best bet, many new and used cars are available, try Vauxhall Corsa or peoghot 106
- If you look at what driving instructors are using you will have a fair idea. Often a Corsa / 106 / Mini. Have you considered that it might be a better idea to pay for professional lessons for her? Then if you're still feeling like it you could buy her a car when she's p ed
- ideal car Suzuki swift power steering. try for a used one as they go on forever. my daughters was from new, now 10 year old. keep it serviced ihave a 3y model, son has same. we love them
- I would save time and pay for professional tuition then buy a nice car when she p es. Intense courses can be very effective. If you buy a car do not get a fiat cinqaciento as they are very poor in crash ratings. A vauxhall corsa 1. 0 12 valve will be very economical to run and quite good in crash tests
- Had a similar situation with my granson, just 18, who has p ed his first written test and now doing the actual driving. practice. Did not want anything like boy racer stuff. In the end we settled for a two year old ford Fiesta which seems to suit him fine. Added him to mum and dad's insurance to keep the cost down a bit. We had to choose between the Fiesta and a Vauxhall Corsa
- The Original Mini! Travel in a cl ic cheap to insure
- have you tried this tkqlhce.com / c - 1748196 - 10295957
- Anything 1 - 1. 4 litre is the lowest category insurance. Maybe a corsa, see lots of driving instructors with these, or a golf. Try to avoid citroens they will crumple like paper in a crash
- Fiat Cinquecento is pretty good in the insurance department. Renault Clio if you want to sacrifice insurance for safety
- To be honest, any of the supermini's these days are fine. As you're looking at a new or nearly new, most will be reliable and shouldnt cause headaches. In my exerience and several of my friends, you simply can not beat the Ford KA. Early models had the 1. 3 Endura engine, which despite being a clattery old 8 valve pushrod engine, was bombproof and could be fixed by anyne with even a basic knowledge of engines. All maintanence is cheap as you like, and spares are as cheap as you will ever get. They are fairly basic spec cars and refinement is not the greatest, but this translates into fantastic reliability. There simply is not much to go wrong on them. Later models got the 16 valve duratec engine, which helped with refinement and fuel economy, servicing becomes a little pricier but all other parts, tyres, exhaust etc, remain as daftly cheap. Styling is subjective I guess, but it's a very feminine little car, most of the KA's I see are driven by young women and it's the only car to have been shown at the new york exhibition of modern art. It's only a 4 seater, as the rear bench is split into two seats, and space in the back is cramped, but there's loads up front for a 6 foot lummox like me. As anyone who's driven one will tell you, they are far to much fun to drive for their own good! The fully mechanical steering is light on the move, crisp and direct, in fact it's more fun to sling through corners than many of these larger sports saloons because of it's low weight. I'd certainly take one over it's bigger brother, the Fiesta, although it trades some practicality for cheapness of ownership. If you're not sold on the KA, then take a look at the Smart car. Not particularly cheap to buy, but solid residuals and cheap servicing combined with a genuine 60mpg and semi - auto gearbox make it a very easy car to live with. It is of course only a 2 seater which may or may not be an issue. Despite what people say about them, they really make sense. I had one for 4 weeks whilst working in cambridge, and in traffic it's brilliant, nice high driving position make seeing things easy, and they can be parked nose in to kerbs, so there's never a problem finding a parking space. Since it's for your daughter, I should probably mention that you can change the main four panels easily, they just pop off with half a dozen fasteners and in half an hour you can have a different colour car handy if she wants to colour co ordinate her shoes ! They're about £200 for a set. Forget the rubbish about them falling over and being unstable, they're fine. I used to rattle about at 85mph and it never once felt unsteady. Not a car for conservative people though. If you need something with space for 5, then take a look at the out going model corsa. With the introduction of the new funky looking model, the exiting moel can be snapped up for some silly money, and as their last of line you get higher spec models for bargain prices. In particular, she might like the 1. 2 SXi, which has sports seats, air con, small bodykit, alloys and shiny exhaust, but with a tiddly 1. 2, so insurance is still cheap. Best of luck with it
