wanted - first car

[Bigbee]

A mate is looking for a car for his 17 year old son . You know the sort of thing required ,cheap as chips , low as possible insurance, reliable etc etc

Wow....regardless of the car he's gotta be looking at insurance of around £3.5-£5k?!

Recently went thro this with my 17 year old son.
I asked about at work ( I know very little about cars) and was advised in general Japanese cars tend to be reliable.
Junior New Road boy was informed and he went out and bought a 1 ltr Corsa because that is what his mate had!!!
He worked hard for his money, his choice but I would say it has been a good little car (if a bit gutless) and category 2 for insurance!

Oh, I thought this was about a boyband covering a Tracy Chapman song.
