New drivers can frequently fall at either end of a particularly wide spectrum. To the left, meet Mr. Confident, ready to drive at the age of nine and a prodigy of car loving folks, Mr. Confident wants to drive fast and imagines that he can handle any car his folks can buy him.
To the right, it’s Mr. Meek, a guy who would likely prefer the 2 hour bus ride but who is fortunate enough to have access to a vehicle.
Both these newly licensed drivers require the same out of a vehicle, a safe and robust vehicle with minimum potential of break down and minimum burn on the pocket when it comes to repairs and petrol costs.
Everyone has a favourite car manufacturer and an opinion on what makes a reliable car. ‘Reliable’ is the name of the game when it comes to a vehicle for a beginner. ‘Economic’ is a close second.
New auto-mobiles drop in price as soon as they leave the lot, so never really represent good value for money. A recommendation is to go, if you can, for an auto that has had one decent owner and has not had a huge amount of mileage put on the clock. Finding an auto like this can take a little bit of time and patience. Keep your eye on newspaper adverts and contact the most credible used car dealers in your area.
If you are lucky you may strike upon a car that has been made ‘like new’ by the mechanic of a used car lot. It might not pick up the ladies but hopefully if you’re buying for a teen, just having a car is going to mean a boost in street cred.
If this is your first car and you have just passed your test, ask your friends and family what they recommend in a car and what they think are the safest and easiest cars to drive. Ignore Uncle Bob when he tells you it’s an Aston Martin.
