Buying your first car is an incredibly exciting process and you are sure to be keen to get on the roads. It is also important that you take the time to find the right car and this should be one which you feel safe and confident in driving but is also a good starter car and affordable to buy and run. Here are a few of the best models to consider.

The Fiesta from Ford is consistently the top UK seller and it is easy to see why. The Fiesta is incredibly well-built and reliable and a car which is enjoyable to drive. Due to its small size, it is also cheap to both buy and run, so it is a great option for those looking to keep all costs of motoring down.
SEAT Ibiza
The SEAT Ibiza is appealing to new drivers because it has sporty styling, rewarding driving experience and plenty of kit as standard. It also has a surprisingly spacious interior which is handy if you want to give people lifts or if you transport a lot of equipment. You can also benefit from affordable prices when you opt for a smaller engine, using as the 1.2.

Additionally, the latest model comes with a host of impressive tech to improve the owner experience and this model is also much larger than previous generations. If you decide to shop in the used car market then be sure to take out a Volkswagen warranty for cover in case you breakdown.
Hyundai i10
The i10 from Hyundai is one of the best small cars available but one that often flies under the radar.
