I passed my driving test today! Second time round - failed the first time due to a relatively minor error which I should have avoided, but hey-ho!

Now I'm looking out for a car: 4 wheels, some seats, some sort of engine... but this is where my knowledge ends.

My priorities are:
Reliability


TVR Chimera... OK, they break down all the time... but they look great and I'm sure ideal for impressing the ladies/guys/German supermodels/whatever takes your fancy...

Fuel consumption (cost)


Still gotta run with the TVR Chimera... OK, with that 6 litre truck engine it drinks petrol like a wino... but they look great and I'm sure ideal for impressing the ladies/guys/German supermodels/whatever takes your fancy...

Advice please?


I'd suggest a TVR Chimera...


Whilst a very Nice car Could he afford the insurance!!!!
having just passed his test what ever car he gets the insurance will hit hard, so that's something to take into consideration, for the first year driving something cheap and cheerful to build up the no claims.
like Moto said a small VW or a Vauxhall Nova/Astra or a Small ford easy to service and get spares anywhere.
Happy Motoring :-D
