You might have been trying to be funny, but I think the OP should take this suggestion seriously.
I don't know what the statistics are in the UK, but in the US, something like 80-90% of all new drivers get in a wreck in their first year. I'm not necessarily advocating a Yugo as they are neither safe nor all that reliable, but OP should keep this in mind. I've always liked VWs for that reason. A slightly older one that runs good and has a good safety rating can be found for a lot less. Save your money as cars are never anything but a money pit. Once you have a year to year and a half of experience under you (basically, when you feel confident you're not going to wreck it), get something nicer like an Audi or BMW. It sucks wrecking a car that was just purchased and having to go through the hassle of finding a replacement. When you've paid out good money, it sucks even more.
Also: new drivers don't need anything with "performance" in it. Learn to drive safely, then learn to drive like you have a pair (just do it somewhere safe). Is there even an Audi or BMW that isn't designed with a sports driver in mind, even on the "cheap" family models?

I believe the mods have clearly stated that the
bolded part is the most important part of that phrase. If you got an issue with a thread, the rules also state that you should REPORT the post, don't reply to it. I believe I have read that useful and/or entertaining threads will be allowed.
