Many Brits (59%) saw passing their driving tests as a life-changing event and one in eight (12%) even felt more attractive to the opposite sex once they had passed. The adventures we had in our first cars may hold the key to why they are so special.

  Hidden Heroes: Vauxhall Zafira GSi 27 Sep 2019 (News)
  Yes, it suffered from torque steer and its upright bodywork meant a bit of extra lean through the bends, but it was riotous fun to drive. It was always a niche. Vauxhall sold just 2800 of them over a four-year production run, and of those around half still survive, some in enthusiast ownership, but the others still floating around in the lower reaches of the classifieds.

  A Grand Monday: Subaru Justy 30 Oct 2017 (News)
  s=carAndClassic&id=C928564" target="_blank">1992 Subaru Justy 1.2 GL  and it could be yours for £995 (or less, as we reckon a slightly lower offer should nail it). It's a quirky car, but a useful one. Like most Subarus, it has four-wheel-drive, operated via a selector lever to help cope with slippery terrain. And, being a Subaru, it's a serious set-up - it may look like a shopper's supermini, but the Justy was always a tough cookie when it came to the white stuff.  The vendor is very honest about the car's condition.
