Hi Josh,

Stick to 1.0-litre engine capacity for insurance purposes and after that it's all down to budget and what you can afford. If you're flush, buy a recent Volkswagen up! or Skoda Citigo. If you're buying on a budget, go and find a Toyota Yaris or Suzuki Alto. Or, if you REALLY want to learn to drive, track down an original Mini Mayfair 1000 - best steering ever.
