Would you recommend a Vauxhall Corsa as our son's first car?

My son has asked for a Group 1 insurance Corsa 1.0 such as a Life, Expression or Breeze. What are your views on these as a first car please? Our preference is a Fiat Panda. However I don't think my son thinks it a "cool" car to have.

Answered by Honest John

Traditionally, kids think Corsas are cool, and it puts a bit more car around him than a Panda so if it's insurable you might as well let him have what he wants. Telematics insurers are at the bottom of this directory: www.honestjohn.co.uk/useful-websites/tax-insurance.../
