    Hey,

    Am looking into buying my first car, I'm on a learner's permit, and have only ever driven a Ford Fiesta. I don't have that much experience driving, but really want to get to it.

    I'm really not an expert on motors... so, can anyone recommend good cars/type of cars/brands for a learner driver? Any advice would be so much appreciated! :)

    A Toyota Yaris would be a good car for a learner. These are very cheap to run and are the most reliable small car on the road. The only downside with them is that they hold their value quiet well so can be a bit more expensive than other cars to buy.
