Click on the brand logos below for the best first cars from leading manufacturers. For each brand we have listed their most popular two models. We have also added a filter to show cars UP TO £3,499 and cars ABOVE £3,500. This value is the approximate price spent on a 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.
