I wouldn't go too mad on saying people shouldn't have new cars when they start driving... it is after all their own choice...

When I passed my test I had this (1.6L):



I changed to this whilst I was 17 (1.8L):



I obviously specced it up with 18" Alloys, Exhaust and GPS etc etc but that was my own choice... Yes I was a Boy Racer but surely thats someone's choice?

I do think that passing your test before you get a car is a good thing to do though... but it's his choice.

With regards to the lessons you have booked... I know quite a few people who have done intense courses and spent 100's of pounds over a 2 week period and ended up failing their test and having to take more, plus another test.

I think 1 or 2 lessons a week over a couple of months is better as it sinks in and you become a better driver and get more relaxed.

I wish you all the best on your driving lessons and really hope that you pass straight off

Theres my little bit

I would personally suggest the other way around...

Have 1 a week for 2 weeks... then 2 for 2 weeks then 3 or 4 building up to your test. I suggest you book your test now if you want to have it in the next 3 months.

I was ready for my test after 8 weeks (having 1 lesson a week) and had to wait 3 months for my test... it was good as I got my driving perfect for the test.

Note: No one is a perfect driver... to pass your driving test is only like passing an exam at School... you never know EVERYTHING, you only can try and do the thinks you are told as best you possibly can!!!

At the end of the day I suggest you go with a car you are happy with.

A bigger engine = more insurance and probably even more importantly, more speed.

When you first pass... after a few weeks you suddenly become VERY COCKY and think you know it all... Race around... and then... something will shock you into driving a little more sensible and taking more care!!!

I drive quickly but i've been driving 4 1/2 years now and know my car inside out... I judge road conditions and always keep 10% behind the max line, to make sure I don't cross that line and end up in a hedge.

1.25 is good... it looks nice with the body kit... I would personally get it and enjoy it... you don't need to rag it about to prove a point, there is no point to prove, it's not a sports car!
