Choosing your first car

There are thousands of new drivers each and every year, and once the exam is out the way and you’re presented with your new pink licence, you have to decide on a car. There’s are many different factors that may first come into your mind, like the colour, the CD player and the styling of the vehicle, but these are certainly not the most important issues.

Mileage is always important and it can give you an insight into the life expectancy of a particular vehicle, while taking a look at insurance prices and tax can also be important. Usually new drivers will start of in a small car, a vehicle they’re comfortable in, and a smaller car often means a smaller engine which in turn means cheaper insurance and perhaps cheaper fuel.

Rather than deciding on the look of the car, look at the mileage tax insurance and reliability. Mechanics know the cars with problems and they know the cars that perform well so you should always read up on particular motors first or seek advice before you make a decision.
