    From The Toyota Aygo To The VW Polo: The Best Cars For New Drivers

    There’s nothing like the feeling of getting behind the wheel of your first car. If you’ve recently passed your test, and you’re on the lookout for a car to enable you to enjoy your new-found freedom, there are some great options around. As a new driver, it’s wise to think carefully about how much you want to spend, and what kind of car you want to buy, even though it’s tempting to rush into a decision and get out onto the roads as soon as possible. Here are some fantastic first car suggestions to get you thinking.

    Toyota Aygo

    The Toyota Aygo is a zippy little motor, which is perfect for first-time drivers looking for cheap vehicle insurance, fuel efficiency, and convenience. This small but perfectly formed car is easy to park, it’s light on the steering, and you can customise it to suit your preferences. There’s a wide range of colours and trims available, and sufficient boot space if you only plan to use the car for commuting or running errands around your hometown. This isn’t the best option for drivers with families or those who like to feel like they’ve got oodles of space when they’re driving, but if you’re looking for something dynamic, affordable, and stylish, this could be the choice for you.

    VW Polo

    The Polo is a stalwart when it comes to cars that are recommended for first-time drivers. Volkswagen has a reputation for reliability and the new Polo, with models like the GTI available, is a cut above the older versions in the style stakes. The Polo is more spacious and more aesthetically pleasing than the Up! and it also boasts more horsepower. The 1.4 TDI is an excellent choice for motorway driving and those who cover a lot of ground, as it returns 80mpg. Brand new Polos will set you back more than £14,000, but they’re built to last, and they represent value for money in the long-term.

    Hyundai i10

    Hyundai has enjoyed something of a resurgence in recent years, and the smaller models have been awarded several accolades. Once associated with the more mature, sensible driver, the new brand of Hyundai models is funkier and fresher. The purchase prices are lower than those offered by VW, Mercedes, Audi and Ford, and this makes the i10 an appealing option. If you’re after something reliable, which is also fun, it’s also worth considering the i20, a slightly bigger and more streamlined version. With the i10, you’ll get fuel economy, and you can expect to pay less for your insurance than you would with a Fiesta, a Fiat 500 or a Polo.  

    As a new driver, you may have your heart set on a specific make or model, or you may not have a clue where to even start looking. For your first car, you want something reliable and affordable, but you’re probably also looking a bit of style thrown in there too. Hopefully, this guide has given you food for thought.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
