Driving Schools Liverpool: The Cheapest Cars for Young Drivers

It’s never been too difficult these days to be a newly-qualified young driver as there are already some alternative to the expensive cars fitted for you as a beginner. Even if there’s the high rocketing of fuel prices, hefty running costs, tax and of course, higher car insurance premiums.

With this in your mind, it’s truly imperative for you to do a research before buying a car. Other vital considerations before deciding to buy a car are as follows: (1.) the fuel economy (2.) road tax grouping (3.) car’s insurance group.

A study showed the total annual and monthly running costs of the top 10 cheapest vehicles for young drivers. It has found out that the number one in the list of the cheapest new cars for young motorists is “Seat Mii” based on its monthly expenditure. It only has the average monthly bill of £346.63 which is very affordable for a young motorist.

This amount already covers the monthly car insurance premiums, purchase repayment, road tax and fuel. The Mii, then becomes highly recommended after it has beaten off some tough competitors to win the title as the “2012 MoneySupermarket Car of the Year.”

But what if a young driver prefers two-wheeled rather than four-wheeled vehicle? You could definitely get a better deal financially by owning a motorbike because its monthly cost is significantly less which is favourable for young drivers. The study also found out that a Honda CBR would only cost £ 224.10 per month for the average 18-year-old driver.
