  • The Best Cars for New Drivers

    The Best Cars for New Drivers

    Your first car is one that will stay with your forever. You’ll always remember the first time it broke down, went on the motorway, got lost, and more, but finding the perfect first car is a tricky thing to do. You spent hours on TopTests.co.uk practicing your theory tests trying to get the best grade, then you spent hours with your instructor as he reminded you to look over your left shoulder on roundabouts. And, now that you’ve passed, you need to try to find the perfect balance, of cost, safety, fun, added extras, and the cool factor… which isn’t always possible. With so many cars on the market, it can be difficult to find the perfect one, so I have done some digging for you and found the best cars for new drivers, based on the above points.

    Skoda Citigo Hatchback

    Pretty much every single Skoda scores a resounding ‘0’ on any cool scale. Skoda doesn’t deserve all the hate and the Citigo will prove to be an excellent first car. You can pick one up new for around £5000 (used), but the car is very safe to drive and actually received top marks from Euro NCAP crash-safety experts. The Citigo is stylish, compared to some of its competitors and Skoda’s excellent customer service is almost legendary.

    Skoda Citigo Hatchback

    Hyundai i10 Hatchback

    The i10 is great little car, that’s really stylish too. They are relatively cheap; it comes with all the added extras you can want, plus you know it’s going to be a solid product. It’s also a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, and it’s one of the more efficient cars on the market today in this price range. The only downside is that the Euro NCAP only gave this a 4, which is by no means bad; it’s just that if you’re a bit paranoid (or your mum is), it’s always best for peace of mind to go with a 5 rated car.

    Hyundai i10 Hatchback

    Ford Fiesta Hatchback

    The most recent Ford Fiesta model is a beautiful little car, which is definitely towards the top of the cool scale. One of the only issues about the Fiesta is that they are more expensive than a lot of the competitors, however the fact that they are currently the biggest selling car in the UK, says that people are willing to pay the price, plus they must be doing something right to sell so many.Ford Fiesta Hatchback

    Renault Twingo Hatchback

    Whilst not as attractive as the latest Renault Clio, the Twingo is a perfect starter car for any young adult. A roomy interior, easy drive, and cheap running costs, are what make the Twingo such a viable option in this hatchback saturated market. If you live in a city or busy town then the Twingo makes getting around an absolute doddle.Renault Twingo Hatchback 1

    MINI Hatchback

    One of my personal favourite cars of all time. The Mini is an absolute beauty and ranks atop the cool scale… in my opinion, at least. They are a bit pricey, but you can rest easy knowing that you are buying a solid car that will last for years and years to come. The Mini is all about style and fun, however a very important point to note is that the latest model only costs £20 a year to tax… Now that’s a selling point.MINI Hatchback

  • 2016-MINI John Cooper Works

    2016-MINI John Cooper Works

    Barely three months after the presentation of the new Mini Cabrio at the Tokyo Auto Show, John Cooper Works has set his sights on this new model.

    This model largely keeps the characteristics of the last cabriolet – a roomier interior with higher quality, a chassis more resistant and more focused towards driving experience – while pushing performance.

    Under the bonnet of the MINI John Cooper Works Convertible hides a 2.0-liter twin-turbo engine capable of producing 231hp and 320 Nm. Mated to a manual six-speed transmission the engine accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and achieves maximum speed of 242 km/h. If you opt for the six-speed Steptronic box, then acceleration improves by 0.1 seconds (0-100 km/h), top speed drops by 2km/h.

    But the Mini in general and more specifically John Cooper models focus on driving sensations. Brembo brake confers it responsiveness. It also comes with a differential locking system and a dynamic traction control. Its exterior is also impressive, even at a standstill. She sits on the 17-inch alloy wheels and is available in a single color, Rebel Green. The front grill is also wider and the side rails are more pronounced, as its transom.

    2016 Caterham Seven 620S

    British sports car manufacturer Caterham has launched a new model. It’s a quieter version of the fastest in the history of Caterham. The calmer does not mean calm. Caterham Seven 620R, the predecessor, was designed for madness on the track. The new 620S is more road-oriented and aims at drivers who do not necessarily get excited as the best lap times.
