Don't discount the Up and it's cousins Neil. I know the headline figure of 60bhp doesn't sound too inspiring but it's not the whole story. They really do zip along and I'm 100% sure there would be more than enough 'zip' for a new driver.

Thanks for the advice lads, its kind of nice having a bit of a petrol head for a daughter (unlike her older sister!)

She can't see herself in anything to 'girly', I'm trying to steer her to VW/Seat,  obviously I'd like her to have something like I did for her first car, but a 1967 Anglia 105e is a bit hard to come by  :happy2:

Not sure if u want a "new" car but what about a Lupo GTI. Had one as my first car when I was 17 & loved it. Such a cool car, nice spec, low insurance & perfectly fine doing 70+

Maybe a little old, but what about Polo Mk3(6N) 1.4 16valve. 100bhp, so not sluggish  :driver:
