My son will be 17 in June and his grandmother has offered to buy him a car to learn in and then to own. We live rurally in the Dales and most of his journeys will be a 22-mile round trip to our nearest town, where his school is. She has indicated a budget of £3500 to £4000. Have you any suggestions of a high mpg car with little or no road tax? We are a one-car family because my wife and I work from home, so we would probably use the car from time to time for similar journeys. Should we insure it in his name with us as named drivers, or us as main drivers with him named?
