What is the best car to start off with?
In a few months I plan on picking up driving and I'm wondering what would be the best car to start of with as a young male driver. I plan on getting an automatic car with a max price of €6K.

Hi Owen,
You really need to stick to a 1.0-litre engine to have any hope of getting insurance at even approaching a reasonable rate. Think Nissan Micra or Pixo, Suzuki Alto, Opel Cora, Toyota Yaris or similar.
