Posted: Wed 22nd Oct 2008, 10:57 pm I had one of those boxy micras, about as reliable as big ben, good on petrol and cheap tax and insurance.... also the only car thats ever been stolen from me, the dumb fuckers tried to run from a police volvo in it
,
The police didn't charge them for takeing the car despite video evidence from the patrol car and thier fingerprints everywhere, they did charge me a release fee to get it scrapped though
Sorry i digress.

Wouldnt personally just get any shitter. Can't put a price on your own safety. You may want a car that's cheap/crap so you don't care about smacking it against a barrier or dinging a door, but i'd want something that's going to hold up in the event of a (serious) accident that might occur for someone new to driving.
Old Volvo then?
Wouldn't be much good for a new driver though since they are all in bloody high insurance groups, but that's because they're so bloody tough I suppose.... My Dad had an old 740 estate that cost him a few hundred, had all sorts of toys in it too
In terms of safety, avoid the Fiat Cinquecento/Seicento like the plague. Want to know why? NCAP results
