Our Top Used First Cars For New Drivers

After passing your test, buying your first car is one of the most memorable milestones when entering adulthood – but which is the best car for you?

Premium car manufactures are focussing a good proportion of their efforts on smaller cars and advancements in car finance, meaning it is likely for us to see more first-time drivers behind the wheel of something a little more luxurious.

The car you wish to buy is down to you but we have compiled a list of five attainable premium first cars that would be suited to a new driver.

MINI Hatchback

The MINI hatchback is spacious, safe and fun to drive and used MINI models are also delightfully affordable, which makes them a dream for new drivers.
