Learner driver car

Crunchymomma · 2018-03-27 16:20:20

I am totally clueless about cars so am going around in circles looking on done deal etc I'm looking for a car that is suitable for a learner (with regards to size/insurance) but could fit 2 car seats in the back and ideally is under 2k. Would love some recommendations on models that might fit the bill

You need to look at Yaris/Micra and similar size cars with small engines like 1.0, 1.2 litres.
Only 4 doors so you can move children in and out I suppose

Keep an eye on this thread as the cars are under 2000 euro

To add to list (although small, petrol and japanese is a killer combo); VW Polos, Suzuki Swifts, Ford Fiestas, Fiat Pandas too

Read this sticky thread for advice on buying, it's a good place to start: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056198864

Make sure you have the car seats to try in the car before you buy too!
