What is the best first vehicle for a new driver?
A very common question is – what car should a new driver buy as their first car? There are many factors that need taking in to consideration before making a decision – some of the most common considerations are:
- Number of Passengers – will you want to carry more than one passenger
- Affordable Insurance – what’s the maximum insurance group you can afford
- How many doors – most popular for a first car is a 3 door hatchback. Would you prefer a 5 door hatchback or something totally different.
- Economy and range – how far to you intend driving each day? With that in mind is a vehicle that only does 40mpg affordable? or is an electric car with a range of just 100 miles acceptable?
- Style – something we have to mention, a very personal view. Does the car meet your style expectations?

Select by brand
For each model of car we have added a filter to show cars UP TO £3,499 and cars ABOVE £3,500. This value is the approximate price a new driver will spend on their first car in 2020. My first car cost me £150 in 1985 (a Fiat 125s – 75HP). A first car needs to be reliable, easy to drive, economical and cheap to insure. A majority of the cars listed here are classified between insurance group 2 and 6 – however – please make certain that any particular model is within your insurance budget before completing a sale.
