What Car for my 19yr old?

Insurance woulda been too high. Also, on principle, he cannot have an Audi as his first car...
To be fair to him he has been absolutely adoring the thing since he got it. He saved for it so it's not an easy come easy go type relationship. Plus, he showed restraint when he passed his test and didn't go straight out and buy a car because he wouldn't have anywhere to keep it whilst living away. Now he is commuting to uni he both needs it and wants it. I'm happy he is mature enough and invested enough for it and its longevity hehe
Good lad. Same with ours. He didn’t have a car at uni and saved towards one for when he finished and needed it for work. That worked well as he had a few years on his licence and was a bit older so insurance wasn’t too bad. We helped him with a little bit of extra cash and he found himself a fab Suzuki Sport. I wasn’t so sure on the Sport as a first car but in the end it was the right thing to do. He loves it. That’s meant he has kept it as he hasn’t rapidly outgrown it and has really looked after it (though not sure taking it around the ‘ring necessarily counts!).
I loved my 1992 Ford Orion to bits but still managed to wrap it around a lamp post
