Have a look at the Toyota Yaris SR 1.8. I own one myself. Extremely cheap to insure for 17 year olds. It weighs 975kg so under a ton, but has 133bhp stock power. Now that’s immense power for a car under 1 ton. And for a 17 year old. You ca find higher millage ones for under £1000 but a decent one is from £1500-2000. It has a stated figure of 9.5 second to 60 however this is understated from Toyota. The actual time is 7.5seconds to 0-60. They are rare cars and amazing sleepers. They are not like your usual Yaris. It’s the only Yaris produced in Japan and not France, it has the same engine as in the Lotus Elise but not supercharged. It’s a real pocket rocket. People think it’s a 1.8 must be expensive to insure, however it isn’t true. Give it a go and you’ll be amazed.

As a car enthusiast, I recommend going for a small cheap car. Such as the Peugeot 206, I have it and I can say that it's pretty amazing if u handle it well. Never get a new car as your first because I can tell u that if u crash it, u will not like the cost of it without a proper insurance. Plus, small older cars will save u a lot of money in the long run. Want proof? I pay a little over 60€ in taxes for the car and about 200€ with a FULL insurance. So take my advice, go for it :)

I live in the UK and got a 1.8i NA (mk1) mx5 at 18 as my first car and it costs me just over £80 a month coming to about £1000 for the year and that is without a blackbox and this could have been even cheaper if I paid in full. I love the mx5 NA model and have always wanted them ever since I got into cars, so of course I was curious to find out how much they costed 😅 Don't just feel like the only cars you can get at the age of 17/18 are 1.2 etc hatchbacks. If that's what you're looking for then by all means get something like a polo (they were actually my second choice) but if you want something different, go on comparison websites and just have a look, it takes next to no time and isnt going to hurt anyone so why wouldnt you! Let me tell you this, insurance is weird, for example, on mx5 that was exactly the same as mine apart from the colour costed just over £3000 to insure but mine only costs a third so for whatever car you are looking at, dont just think that all of that type of car will cost the amount of the first one you look at because they don't. Do lots of research on the cars that you might want and look for common problems and reliability because a car might be cheap to buy but very expensive to maintain (i.e. any BMW, Audi and Mercedes) Just know that changing small things on a quote can drastically change the price both ways, but some things might not affect it much at all. The moral of the story is do research and look at things that you might not expect to be cheap, obviously nothing crazy though 😂 if it's not a popular first car it can be very cheap, I dont understand the logic but trust me! P.S. great video, subbed to the chaneel 😄 Good day to you all and I hope I have helped you!

Yeah the 206 can either be bulletproof or utterly awful, going by my friends' experiences

Why not a second gen? Cheap on running costs

In my country we just a buy a car and that’s it drive it away without insurance because we all know car Insuance is a Fraud and not worthy

[@CarsWithJB]

Crazy haha - I wish we could ignore insurance here but you'd get your licence taken away!

[@Skykitten246]

Yah bro I do understand it’s just a way for the Insuance companies to rob people by making themselves look the good guys when they are not ever year they raise the Insuance for so many dum reason I have heard.

[@milesmckie9756]

If you’re still looking for a car, a vw Fox would be worth looking at. Can get one for around £1000 and insurance is the lowest group, so first year is normally around £1,100

@@milesmckie9756 absolutely right 👍. In my research Fox is the best car for young people.

[@jaakko222]

I dont see why anyone would think that that A calss is a good buy

Probably exclusively because it's a merc - the people I know who've owned them have all had reliability issues!

mine is a 2003 polo 9N 1.4 75bhp as first car tho. definitely the best choice for first car. but I would suggest everyone to get a small, manual, japanese as their first car

[@Adam-yu5zj]

I have had a car since I was 15 (obviously I haven’t been driving on the road), this car is worth like £1k so pretty cheap, I am driving on the road next month, do you think I should buy a more expensive and better car for like £5-10k or would I not get insurance from that? So would you think I will have to stay with the cheap car

[@CarsWithJB]

I would suggest sticking to cheap and moving to more expensive when you're comfortable! I've got a video coming out this evening which explains how to get cheaper quotes 🤙🏽

[@LP_Karting]

If you feel comfortable driving like me it felt natural and easy and I passed in just 15 hours time of driving experience with a instructor from never being behind a wheel, I'd go for the 5-10k car as insurance is way cheaper for new cars, I checked insurance on a polo 1.2 for me it was cheapest with a box 3 grand so instead I've got a 2017 golf only because I wanted the facelift version and first year to insure £1250 no box with my mum as additional driver I plan to keep the golf till I'm 25 then go for a hot hatch Or maybe something like the new audi s4

[@Leatherkid01]

Id take the polo.....out of all the selections 👍😁

[@CarsWithJB]

Probably same here for obvious reasons haha!

[@WavScorn259]

I'd take the Suzuki swift 1.5l GLX, but in grey

Honestly gotta have an old banger as your first car. You’ll appreciate newer cars more if you do

[@CarsWithJB]

Agreed 100%

[@zaink7037]

This mainly comes down to location. If you live in London sadly insurance will do you over. My first car had group 1 insurance and was £2080. It did half next year. Sadly though insurance quotes went up £200 from my current cover once

[@CarsWithJB]

Agreed - I live on the edge of London and my first year was £2k 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@angrymuffinsb]

Unpopular opinion, but the Chrysler Ypsilon is dirt cheap to buy and insurance now

[@CarsWithJB]

Very rogue but a great shout - not a car I even considered, though I'm not sure it's quite dropped below the £1k mark yet!

[@angrymuffinsb]

Cars With JB weird cars are me all over 😂. The original Smart ForFour is cheap as too. Especially the 1.1. Great if you wanna stand out from the Ka’s and puntos. Great video btw

[@nicolapalmieri7344]

Isn't it the Lancia Ypsilon?

Carguy_Club on the Europe mainland it was, here in the UK (which is where this channel originates) it was branded the Chrysler

Yeah my first car was a Peugeot 107 which basically is the same car with the same 1 litre petrol engine. It mainly comes down to location. The cheapest insurance I got was £2080 when I was 17 but I live in London

@@zaink7037 that's bullshit haha, well the £1200 would be if It was my first year of driving; I don't actually want to say what my car is to jb just yet as it will probably ruin the niche insurance quotes for it.

Took me nearly a thousand miles to Manchester and back 4 times without 1 hickup. Can’t fault the motor other than having to pay just over 2grand for my first year insurance third party with a box

This is why it's so ideal to go for a banger as a first car, it'll sort you out so well, and when the time comes you can move on to something you really want!

I've done a quote for a 17 year old student and has just passed there test for a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 limited edition.

[@SpitfireFortyFour]

Old is best. I bought an old Austin Maestro. Cost a grand, insurance was about £800. If something goes wrong it's an Austin A-Series engine (same as a Mini or a Metro) so parts are hugely available and very cheap. Theres nothing electronic or hydralically assisted so theres very little to go wrong and if it does you can mend it yourself. It's lightweight which means its alot of fun to drive and the '80s styling is coming back into fashion, it generally gets complimented. The issues to watch out for are rust in the arches (replacement panels are about £40 and just bolt on) and safety features as there are none. So being observant when driving is very important, you are the crumple zone. Fortunately the brakes are easy to upgrade as they made hot MG versions, these can be swapped out and make the car feels much safer. You also have to learn how to maintain a carburettor and use a choke. It's also not going to depreciate in value as prices are climbing pretty rapidly at the moment.

[@CarsWithJB]

Agreed - I don't yet feel able to make a video on older cars that are good for young drivers to insure because there are a lot out there! But sounds like you're winning with that Austin!
