    If it's a first first car and you've no driving experience, I'd suggest spending 2-3k max on something like an early 00s Micra. No sense in spending all that money on a car if youre gonna scrape it off everything around you. Also...a Santa Fe? IMO, far too big to learn in.

    However, if you can already drive and its just a first car...fire away!

    dont go diving into cars we throw at you..

    put some research and test drive a whole range of cars before making your mind up and all.

    I would set a budget of €1k and buy a donedeal special (yaris, micra, polo, swift, etc). I would spend 12 months in that learning to drive and get used to the roads and other road users.
