I'm not sure I agree that driving away on your own for the first time is a great feeling. I almost shit myself!!!!
LOL
First time on Motorway felt naughty af 🤣
I'll just avoid this and buy a tricycle
The bus is cheaper
Great, bus it is then.
buy a whole bus for the true experience
Paynos Alright, what's the insurance on a bus?
tree fiddy
Why do you sound like siri
loool, I actually hear that quite a lot
WBS Arma bc he is siri
😂😂😂😂😂😂
His voice is perfect for voice overs
Ill just drive my tree to work
★ X I I I ★ hope it's downhill

★ X I I I ★ fuck an engine swap just lower it and get some nice alloys then turbo it 👍👍👍👍
★ X I I I ★ ummm I think the tree v69 is good but I would also recommend the tree-tec
Best way mate, can assure the miles per hour will beat any motorcycle on the road, probably slash a Hayabusa too lad. Skrrt.
3:50 How much? For a 17 year old?
I checked for some quotes on that Fiesta, and as a 21 year old, the cheapest I could find was £3k with a black box.
Do you live in Heavan or something?
Well these days Small engine Hatchbacks are actually the same to insure as a mid size engine saloon if not more expensive because the statistics show that new drivers are having more accidents in these type of hatchbacks because every new driver gets them lol a 2.5 ltr 3 series BMW is the same to insure as a 1.3 micro
Insurance is always tricky as hell to deal with, it's never black or white "this is cheap to insure or this is expensive" as it looks. Some cars definitely throw you off.
a vauxhall insignia 163bhp is £2.5K but corsa 75hp is £2.6K...
EndaStory m
It's true... My Fiat Punto 1.2 cost me the same insurance, as it would have to insure my Dads Volvo C70 Convertible... 2.4L Turbo.. Like what
Yeah because a 17 year can afford
1k for lessons and test
2k for insurance
2k+ for a car
Bradley Collins if it costs you 1k to get your licence you shouldn't be allowed it
cost me 600 for lessons and tests and i passed all tests 1st time
here in my GARAGE how many lessons did you take jesus
Scream Mnky That's absolute nonsense. Here in Ireland I spent around €300-400 on lessons and €160 on tests (failed the first time). That's nowhere near £1k, but it's still a lot. Speaking on behalf of others, I know drivers who are perfectly capable who failed the test three, four, five times before passing and required more than twenty lessons. That comes close to £1k. Why did they fail their tests? Multiple factors, many of which weren't associated with being a safe driver but more being incapable of handling the stress of a test or finding a specific maneuver a challenge, one you wouldn't normally use on your commute to work everyday.
Scream Mnky 600 lessons is literally 30 hours, thats if he got them £20 driving lesson for an hour
I've been riding motorbikes most of my adult life, and today I just bought my first car, a 2003 Rover 45 2.0 diesel with 93000 miles for £790. Yes even at 31 years old and with the years of experience on the road on bikes, it was still a little nerve racking driving alone for the first time. I think the greatest challenges going from a bike to a car are getting used to the width of the vehicle, positioning the car in the middle of the lane (which is never that important on a bike) and judging which gaps it can get through and which it can't.
Conway79 why a Rover may I ask?
Tom Hornsey Good question. It was cheap, relatively low miles compared to other cars of a similar price, looked like it had been well looked after, and I like the retro look and feel.
I also looked at a Honda Accord 2.2 diesel which seemed to be in good condition, and I'm partial to Honda because I've always ridden Honda bikes, but it was £990 with 190,000 miles.
The size of the thing is definitely something to get used to, especially looking at parking and slipping through narrow spots. All about practice though, the more you drive the easier it gets.
I own a 09 Ford Crown Vic and I would have a problem with it if I lived in the UK.
AND Rover shares a lot of things with Hondas
first car i think nobody spend 10k on it probably around max 5k maybe uusually 1-3k
I agree, having a new car as a first car never really goes well
You'd be surprised, I have one friend who bought a brand new Fiat 500 (2016 straight from the salon, customized to the best features) for around £14,000 at the age of 17. I honestly do not understand some people.
SuchyMilo ou yes not me etiher well if he's/her's parents have money then i understand it
Jimi Kivilompolo honestly their parents aren't too wealthy.
agreed i mean for my first car i could of gotten something more expensive than what i did but then the other factor is i was a new driver at the time and new drivers always mess up. atleast if you get something that isnt that expensive then your not exactly worried if you mess up such as causing more wear and tear on the clutch etc. not to mention parking etc. i mean i was really crap at parking when i first passed. once you build up some driving experience and get more comfortable then sure get something more expensive
What do you think of the BMW 1 series as a first car? I’m looking at a 09/10 plate
I'm looking into the ibiza 08 5dr, thoughts on that? if you know of course.
The newer Ibizas like the 08+ are great little cars man! If you can go for an FR and the insurance is affordable I'd definitely recommend.
How much insurance would you have to pay for a Audi A1 as an 18 year old? Thx
I'm binge watching your videos... :D
am i supposed to get the car i want first then start getting quotes. because it's almost impossible to get a quote without one. when i phone up they treat me like a criminal that im trying to get a quote without a licence plate. i dont get it. then when i give them a licence plate number they tell me they cant quote it. what then?
check on autotrader and use a car plate from there for reference
car insurance is just crap in my area. 3.5k+ for insurance on cars like corsas and polos. terrible
the only downside with being a first time driver. keep playing around with engine sizes etc. your first year will always be the worst but it does get better after that. my first year insurance was £1650 2 years ago for a 2007 1.2 Corsa and now i pay £950 on a 2013 1.5 Clio
omg thats crazy expensive .. i got seat cordoba 1.9sdi .. and my insurance was 650eur (but this is max i can insure it will cover ..natural disasters like storms ect. if i hit a deer .. if it get vandalized or my windshield crack from stones or if someone steals it i will get money for new one.. in my country you just pay 150 eur extra first 3 years so.. im acctualy insured my car 3rd time so next year it will cost me 500eur
I got my first car even though I haven't passed my test because I can practice in between lessons with someone in my family supervising me. My car is in the medium budget. £2250, 2005 Honda Jazz SE with low mileage, 50mpg, reliable, I believe it has good safety and it has decent technology on it such as electric folding mirrors. I love it. I am enjoying your videos
I've been looking around for about a month now, found a couple corsas online in my price range (£2500, excl. insurance) their age and mileage around 8 years and 50000 miles, anything else to look for? or any other models that would be ideal? any advice would be really appreciated
I'm thinking of getting a new Dacia Sandero Ambiance, what do you think?
the zetec s is in insurance group 15 so isit really 1500 for insurance?
I need an opinion, how do you guys feel about getting the base used model of bmw 3 series from 2006 and up or an audi a3 1.9 tdi from around 2006 and up as a first car for a young driver. No hate plz
thanks for the video cant find any more with this quality, gonna be taking test soon so need to know what car to buy thanks
No problem and thanks for watching :) Good luck with the test!
Excellent video!
Looking for a 2007 ish a3 sport either 1.4tfsi or 1.6fsi, insurance is floating around 1600-1700- what sort of mileage do you think i should go for i was thinking around 80k, or should i get a lower trim model a bit newer with perhaps more miles
Try and keep mileage with petrol cars as low as you can, 80k and under if you can for sure. Diesel cars can go up and over that with not too many worries.
Great video mate. Keep it up!
Thank you man! Appreciate that
Which websites would you recommend to find used cars? I only know cargurus
nhbeautyzone Autotrader, Ebay and Gumtree are the main websites I search on.
£1500 a year for insurance? You must be mad! My quote is over £3000 (cheapest) on a 1.1 rover 25 and the next quote up is £4000!
Alex Sheffield I live in a rough town where crime is high and my first car was a fiat punto 1.2 petrol (06) my first year quote was £1700 and this year that I'm about to renew is going to cost me £1050, is there something you're doing different, my insurer is 'auto saint insurance'
Sensei they are, I would recommend them to everyone, haven't had a single problem with them or their box
lol mine is £1400
ive found with insurance for young drivers theres never one price bracket. it can be all over the place. i mean for example 2 years ago my insurance was £1650 for the first year where as my friend who only lived like literally a mile away his insurance was £2100. and then my one friend who just passed now lives in the same area as me his insurance is £2300. prices for young drivers have also started to rise quite abit recently. i know plenty of people who cant even get a quote below £3000 for a first time driver
boii
I'm thinking of getting a Peugeot 206 GTI as my first car but I'm not too sure any advice?
That's a great little car, keep an eye on the insurance though as it could be a little pricey!
Haven't yet taken my test, it's coming up, but I bought a Zetec S as my first car so very happy to see it in this video! Currently provisionally insured and from my experience so far, it is a very good first car to purchase, I absolutely love it!
Good choice! They're great little cars so I'm sure you'll have fun with it, good luck on the test :)
what do you think about a 2003 renault clio 1.2 8v, just bought one not drove it yet as ive not started my lessons, are they good insurace wise? are they reliable? fun to drive? etc etc, thanks
They shouldn't be too bad insurance wise, fairly similar to Fiestas and Corsas I'd say. They're fun little cars to drive for sure, older and french don't have the best name in reliability normally but I've had friends with old clios that have gone on for years with no trouble!
Check out Boosted's videos on CZcams as he made quite a few on an older model clio!
sir my height is very small around 4.9 or 5 which car you prefer ,I have got already peugout 206 .but i took lessons and passed my driving in Nissan micra
Whats a decent mileage for a used car? I know it depends on other factors but I want a ballpark figure please Thanks
Picking up my 2007 Seat Ibiza DAB SE tomorrow! So excited!!!
Aayyy good tunes for the outro.
Right, is it legal to insure a car on your parents as main driver and have you as a secondary driver even if your the main driver it makes insurance much cheaper so it it legal or not? Thanks
Nah not legal, that's what Fronting is lad haha
My First car is vw beetle turbo s top of the rang 2003. Shouldn’t be too bad should it?
I would be looking for a saloon what do you recomend
Suzuki swift 1.3 good or bad for a first car?
Audi a1 2013? Vw golf 2013? Both 1.6tdi what do you think? First car I have been passed two years
whats the name of the song at the end of the video ? it sounds epic ..
My first car is a seat Ibiza 2006 stylance. I've been driving for around a month now and have come across your videos. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are so informative and fun!
When looking for a car I first looked at price as I didn't want to spend too much. So everytime I found a car in my price range second thing I did was check out the insurance cost. I found some cars for example a Clio, cost more in insurance than a golf? It was very strange. I think it also could be your location impacts the cost of insurance.
What do u think about 2014 Mazda 2
Just bought a 1991 mini and if you have any mechanical knowledge it becomes a hobby as well as a car, and although i haven't driven on the road properly with it yet I can tell its going to be a real blast! 100% recommend to any petrolheads that accept rust...
I got a Peugeot 106 passed down to me by one of my mum's friend since they had upgraded is that okay for a first car.
Id recommend a 2005 vauxhall corsa 1.4 twinport, no more expensive than a 1.2l, also very fast engine size and extremely fun to drive. Had mine for almost 10 years and the only thing that i had to change was the brakepads so nothing wrong. Wish i still had it.
I’m about to purchase a 16 plate Merc C class. It’s automatic so I’m not too worried about smashing it up as it’s relatively easier to drive an automatic. Not to mention the rear view cameras and other technology that will assist me with parking. Insurance for my first year would be 1.8K with black box. So yes quite excited for it :)
would you recommend a honda civic type r for a first car
Paynos hope you don't mind this lengthy description. Now I passed my test in November 2015 at the age of 17 and am now 19 and still driving the same car. I drive a Peugeot 207 1.6 turbo diesel with a respectful 90bbc, for any people who wish to get a petrol car this is roughly a 1.4 petrol sport in comparison give or take. Now I went with a company called Bell for my insurance who are part of admiral. You get given a plug and drive system that acts a little like a black box but isn't. A small black device gets put into your cigarette adaptor for 3 months and if you drive well you get some money back and the rest of the 7 months to drive without it. However it only measures your acceleration and braking and has to be in 95% of the time so in theory you can unplug it when you overtake and not get done for harsh acceleration. To the point in hand however, it cost me £1100 at the time, I stated I was a student just passed and added my father as a named driver. The best quote I could find, now I recently renewed and after 1yr and 3 months of driving with a year's no claims that went down to £860. This company is great, give them a call and they can provide you with discounts on things such as your break down cover.
Also guys insurance quotes can be very dependent on not just the age of the car, but how long you have had it. Spoke with my insurer about getting a new car and they said it would cost more for starters as I would not have any experience with the condition of this new car and therefore things could have gone wrong on it without me realising. Put it this way if you have two identical cars (make and model) , but you have owned one of them for 7 years and the other for 2 months, the latter will be more expensive to insure.
My first car is a zetec s limited edition lime green with checker roof and a miltek exhaust and sprayed black rims the insurance is 450 a year live the ting
Where the fuck do you live to pay 450
How much would Insaunce on a mini one 2016 xcost
Would a fiat 500 abarth t-jet be a good first car?
First car (and current) is a 2005 Mini Cooper JCW with tuning pack. Bought for £3K in May 2K16. Had 65,000 miles on the clock and only cost £1300 with out a black box to insure.
I was 17 with no previous driving experience.
I live in a built up area which is a stones throw away from a 70mph dual carriageway (This is a big factor when insuring a car).
Would recommend one of these cars to anyone, but please upgrade the exhaust and air filter to give the car a better sound.
Hope this has helped someone 👍🙂
I live in this US and my first car was a 94-96 Chevy Impala SS which had a 5.7L V8 LT1 corvette engine with 260hp plus a supercharger and did 157mph stock. Now, I drive a 09 Ford Crown Victoria which is fun and big car. It uses a 4.6L.V8 250hp with a 4 speed automatic and its top speed is limited to 130mph due to the rear axle ratio. I'm saving up for either a 2013 Shelby GT500 or a 2016 Cadillac CTSV which both have over 600bhp stock from the factory. The 2013 Shelby GT500 has 662bhp stock and the Cadillac CTS V has 640bhp stock.
How much would the insurance be for Ford Fiesta 1.6 zetec S for a first time driver
Pawan Thapa My friend actually got that exact same car, he managed to get 1.8K with a black box.
What is the best first car for a teen who is very very tall?
btw i wonder when can you take driving licence in uk? whitch age do you need to be?
You have to at least 17 to take the test in the UK :)
I'm looking to buy a 2010/2011 Ford Fiesta as my first car
So as my first car i got myself the Mazda Xedos 9 2001 2,5 V6.. great experience. A decent amount of power, well specificated, comfy as hell... the only problem is the fuel consumption
Would you recommend saving for a better car which is more economically in the long run rather than just buying a cheap car straight away then bro?
JKroniKz If you have the cash to do it then definitely man! You'd be able to spec a much nicer car too :)
you can buy a cheap and economical car. The citroen C1, toyota aygo and peugeot 107 are all good cheap to run cars. They all have a 1 litre toyota engine with £20 road tax and claimed around 68mpg. i had the peugeot 107 for my first car 2 years back and it costs me £20 of petrol around 3 to 4 weeks. This was when i was driving to college 5 days a week (5 mile journeys)
passed few weeks ago. Jumped into a 2.5 litre turbo diesel for ranger truck. great fun. like driving a tank and boy does it shift when you want it to
That's unique as a first car! Enjoy man :)
My first car was an '98 Acura TL ($3,500). It was automatic with really low mileage (30,000). My new car is a '00 Honda Civic EX ($1,500) which had high mileage but had the advantage of forcing me to drive manual.
Is an audi tt suitable for a first car
I was thinking an old Impreza estate as a first car. The idea being that due to my current situation and location, I need something that can haul shit around, but would still like it to remain decently fun to drive. Good idea or bad idea?
Good idea if you can get the insurance for a decent price! MPG/Maintenance might be a little higher too. If that's all good with you they're great cars.
I was looking at the corsa 1.2l limited edition, but will the limited edition part make my insurance higher
Not necessarily man, all depends on the value of the car and where you are. Give it a go on comparison websites and see what prices you get!
Paynos Thanks for speedy reply, i turn 17 in a few months (i know it seems a bit early for looking into cars and insurance but im curious and looking forward to driving) and if i go onto insurance websites they want me to be over 17 of course, now should i make a throw away email and pretend im 17 so that i can get these quotes
^
Yeah you can always try out quotes with the age you will be to see what the prices could potentially be! Make sure to use your proper deets when you're actually buying though :P
The prices might differ by the time you're actually 17 too so be a little careful
Paynos Cheers man
I got a 2010 Fiat Punto Evo 1.4 16v. Insurance is £1850. Awesome first car, spacious, 5 doors and 105bhp is not bad for a first car!
What about a Saxo, Yaris or 206?
I'm not really one for fords but that one in the video look pretty stylish 😍
I agree! Love the look of the ST models :)
My brother now owns that exact car
My test is in 5 weeks, if i pass i'm thinking of getting a MK5 VW Golf 1.4 TSI (138bhp), good choice?
Oh yeah that will be great fun man. Good car!
subiii , you might have to look up insurance quotes first, bigger cars such as golfs are big money with insurance companies, especially with young drivers. Good luck with your test😊
Evan_ Kaneo Yeah true, the 1.4 TSI's cost about 2200 to insure while the 1.6 Golfs cost about 1900 so i think ill be going for the 1.6, gotta consider the price of the car aswell. And Thanks man, got about 3 weeks left :)
subiii That's mad! haha insurance companys really don't make sense😂 no problem, good luck
Yeah it's all nuts and I've found some people get amazing deals whilst others get shafted. It's tricky!
I got a 2007 Vauxhall corsa sxi, Black alloys tinted windows. £1300 with a black box, as a first time driver but we payed extra and ditched the blackbox and it was £2500. It helps big time to pay monthly.
Mine was an automatic Toyota Yaris Dec 2014 Hybrid. Id also considered a Honda Civic which was first choice but the insurance was too high. I'd also went to Nissan but they had no used automatics at the time, so that left toyota as I really wanted a Japanese brand. I love my Toyota Yaris, it's pretty techy and had a built in sat nav with bluetooth, smart key fob that doesnt need to be inserted and automatic lights for evening so I don't have to remember to turn them on and very low milage
Dacia Sandero is pretty good starter, very cheap to buy new, uses the bombproof engine from the Clio MK2 and it looks quite modern.
That Seat Ibiza is great for first car, I learned how to drive on that car,1.9 SDI,great car !!!
2002 blue fiat punto 1.2 paid £50 put about 4000w worth of speakers into it and a dixie horn for style 😉
What's your opinion on a Renault Clio 2013 model?
The newer clio's are good little cars!
please help. i tried to get insured on a zetec s. they offered me 7 grand?
Keep shopping around man, some companies will just price you out of the market at a young age unfortunately.
will do mate and thanks for the reply. love the vids btw man killin it
1.3k a year for a 1.2 clio WITHOUT A BOX is good right
anyone know if a 2005ish mini one is a goos idea? at around 70000 miles plus on a 1.4 petrol? like will I be likely spending loads on fixing it all the time?
With 70k miles it shouldn't be too bad, depending on the owner and condition of course! Always should budget in potential repairs though. they are solid little cars so I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)
Ok thanks for the feedback. I was just wondering how reliable they are, since Ive seen some good offers. Oh and can you tell me what exact model the fiesta in the video is? Saves me some research haha
It's technically a Zetec S 1.6 diesel that looks a bit like an ST :P
oh right thanks :)
Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching!
I love performance cars but I'm thinking to get a relatively new but cheap to run car so to last me until I've had a proper job for a couple of years do that then I can splash out on a sporty coupe
Is it worth getting VW golf as a first car around 2.2k to buy then 1.2-3k insurance with telebox?
Alimul Hardy sounds pretty good to me! Make sure to budget in repairs and maintenance too :)
My budget was £6k. I ended up getting a Ford Fiesta Zetec 59 plate. It only had 35,000 miles on it as well!! A great first car
When choosing my first car (which happened to be my second - first was gifted by my gran). I was looking at the insurance categories on Parkers website. I found the Fiesta Zetec climate TDCi was the highest spec'd car in the lowest categories. Bought a 2006(56) plate in 2012 for 3k and added 40,000 miles and sold it for 3k in 2014. I then get a Fiesta Zetec s from 2012 which cost 9k and sold it a year later for 8k and now in my Fiesta ST.
Insurance surprisingly went down when getting the ST - perhaps due to its age? I'm turning 24 next so only 1 more year before the magic 25 and cheaper insurance premiums.
My first car; 2008 Ford Fiesta Zetec-Blue (Limited Edition): Upgraded 16" sporty wheels, Great sound system, Bluetooth, Voice recognition, Automatic lights, rain sensing wipers, Out handles most cars. £2500. 👌🏻
Civic EP2 1.6 VTEC, my first car. Insurance was £1800 with a black box and the car itself was £1700 with 90k miles.
My first car a little corsa :) so far I fixed with my friends the wiper linkage! In 2 years I'll upgrade for something like an audi my dream car a Ford mustang one day 💪🏼
Song???
I'm looking at a Honda Civic EP2 1.6 Sport with the Type R body kit from the 2.0litre model (EP3) or one with a Mugen spoiler.
What car should I get as I'm buying one but I'm not that good with car makes and stuff .... please help
ford KA
Int. Hours thank you
try a 2003 polo actually, very reliable and insurance wont be too much too
Int. Hours thank you this is a big help
Can you please do a video on best first car if you live on a farm and you need to tow a trailer
My friend has a 20k budget and im doing some research for him, he wants a fun car. What should he buy
20k can get you a fantastic car to be honest! You can get some great R Line VW Golfs, Seat Leon FR, Audi A3 that sort of range!
I'm over 30 thinking to get Seat leon 1.4, 2003... good choice? ??
Leons are great, make sure you give whatever you go to look at a thorough test drive though!
just wanted to ask how do i compare if i dont have the car yet. thats the point right check prices then get the car. the sites keep asking me for the number plate so they can quote me. i dont have a number plate, and everytime i get a random number plate just to hear a quote it won't let me. driving illegal was so much easier. thats ignorance of course but still it wasn't this stressful
I'm very lucky, my parents bought me a 2016 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 125hp in white and I love it!
im looking at getting a 1.4 petrol 2001 seat leon
My first was a saab 9-5 SC 2.3 l biopower from 08, great fun with 185-215 hp depending on fuel. Only problem is that it drinks quite a lot
Just bought by first car. Got a 63 reg Skoda Citigo with 38,000 on clock. Cost me £3800 and about £1500 for insurance. Never thought I could afford it but been working night and weekends throughout secondary school and then worked full time for the passed year and saved my money. Good luck everyone
on my way to purchase a 2011 Seat ibiza CR, Heard so much great stuff about Seat's seems like a great car
Who the fuck has a first car budget of 10k? You really dont need a car that expensive if all your going to do is drive around your local town..
I bought classic mini was my choice glad I did
Right now I'm looking at a Seat Leon 1.9 TDI 2003 with 110hp
I'm thinking about a 207 or a fiesta but don't know which one to choose...
Always liked fiestas but know people who have owned peugeots before and heard there cheap and reliable cars.
TheRainingKing Both cheap and reliable cars man, I'd go for the Fiesta myself as the parts are more commonplace in the UK and you can spec the cars a little nicer :)
TheRainingKing Buy the fiesta. Peugeots tend to have shocking power in comparison. eg my mate owns a 13 reg fiesa 1.0 l ecoboost that has 113 bhp , but when his car had to be repaired after a crash he was given a 16 reg 1.2 Peugeot 208 with only 80 bhp
Guys opinions on a 2002 Vauxhall corsa sxi 1.2, 51k miles?
Cihan Yalcin then good for picking up 15 year old
