Either of those with a 1.4TDI is pretty economical, and reasonably quick

The OP is 17, "reasonably quick" won't do the insurance premium any
favours. Perhaps an ancient SWB Defender or even Series Land Rover
would be a better bet?


My son's first car was a V8 3.5ltr 110 running on LPG. It was cheaper to
insure and run than his mates old Fiesta, but sounded fantastic:-)




Sadly it was too big to park at uni, hence the Renault 5 mentioned earlier.


Dunno if the motor proctor would allow that is this manor;!...
