I have a very nice little Focus 2 door limited edition thingi it is rele nice..... and rele good on petrol..... my insurance is abit hefty tho..... £1600 a year atm cz im 18 hopefull it will go down....

I did have a KA when i first passed my test then wrote that off in traffic just like slowly catchin up with the car infront i was n't lookin at the car infront of me dont ask!!! then i had another KA but it is like a piece of TIN you only have to have someone open their doors on your side panel and you have a massive crater! they are cheap though bout £2000 the car get you mayb a 01 plate perhaps and about £1200 to insure. my friend had a Saxo and hers was just as good she is 20 now and has just changed but her insurance for the last year was somethin like £500. Now she has a new corsa they are verrrrrrrrry nice if you can stretch to that much!

Totally up to you though but if i was just about to pass my test again i would have certainly have gone straight for a focus..... sporty, nippy, nice inside!, you get a CD player and electric windows wow that you dont with a KA!, they are good on fuel and if you do get yourself in an accident hopefully you dont but i thought that! you won't have a car that caves in around you!

Sorry for my missions

My KA has electric windows

KAs still come with cassette players they don't even make cassettes anymore lol!

My first car I have is a new shape Golf....which I bought for £9,500

I love it to pieces but my insurence was £2,000.

So really it depends on how much you want to spend...

I think a 206 would be a good first car too! I looked at a few of them when I was looking to buy a car

Good call... Jap reliability too, means you shouldn't get stranded..

Bollocks to everything thats been said, go out and spend a couple of hundred quid on a 1 litre cinquecento or something crap like that.   Cheap insurance, cheap tax, and you won't care if (when) you bump it.  Most people end up with at least a couple of dents from parking etc so whats the point in buying something mega expensive when its just going to get hammered

we are talking 206's and corsa's here not zondas.
