I am searching for my very first car.

I am very excited and am currently looking at Opel Corsa's and Ford Fiesta's aged between 2003-2006, would I be correct in saying they are both excellent cars for a learner driver?

Also which website is the best to search?

Thank for the help!

Yep I'd also look at the fiesta, they're great little cars

I would go with the fiesta too. Or something sub 1.0 with a turbo.

I only failed on a tire at the front thats a bit worn:D, just a visual retest needed. As the belts didnt arrive I pulled out the rear seats, glad I did now. The tester said the car was like brand new, all brake lines and suspension were perfect. I still in shock.

I hope nobody was waiting on any DHL deliveries today... drove past a destroyed punto that looked like it got in a fight with a DHL truck earlier. Outside Athlone, Dublin direction on the motorway.

To get away from the student squabbling, I had a final interview today for a job I'm fierce keen on, so any good thoughts to influence the interviewers would be appreciated.

Might mean I'd be on the hunt for a new car, and we all know how much fun it is trying to change diehard minds when they want a new car
