Hi chick, welcome to the site

My mum had a fiesta when i was learning to drive. It was a 1.25 Ghia on 1998 (R) plate. Theyre not bad cars (my sis now has it) and quite nippy for a 1.25. But if you have just passed your test the insurance will still be quite pricey cos i think the 1.25 are insurance group 5. Maybe for the first year of driving stick to something around a group 2/3 and get a years driving and a years no claims under your belt which will help to reduce your premium.

I had a 1L Pug 106 (4 speed box) when i first passed and i was paying around the £800 mark on that and that was Third Party Fire & Theft!
