A 12 year old Nissan Micra, bought and done up specially for me. I loved it - no power steering so it felt like I was driving a tank.. cassette player (so I spent hours recording my CDs onto)..

I had 10 top-up lessons with an instructor before the actual test and it felt like I was driving a go-Kart.

A Triumph Toledo - a very long time ago.

Vauxhall Corsa (instructor's car).

Me too! Late 80s early 90s... All the instructors seemed to have corsas or little tanks as they called them. Solid and heavy, every car after had such a light touch by comparison!!

SparklyGlitterballs · 24/08/2025 13:08

I begun my lessons in an old classic mini but moved on to a mini metro and passed in that.

Titasaducksarse · 24/08/2025 13:08

Nissan Micra as well. 1994

RampantIvy · 24/08/2025 13:10

Our own car was a Hillman Avenger. I passed my test in 1981.

Seeline · 24/08/2025 13:10

My instructor had a Polo.
My first car was an Austin Maxi. It was like a tank, 1750 engine, no power steering, clothes peg to keep the choke out (remember those?!).
I loved it.

VexedofVirginiaWater · 24/08/2025 13:10

A mini - the old sort (in the 70s).

SliceofTosst · 24/08/2025 13:27

Metro.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 24/08/2025 13:29

A metro. It had a radio/cassette, a choke, 3 doors, manual windows etc. obviously no air conditioning, central locking etc! Cars have come a long way.

Elbowpatch · 24/08/2025 13:30

Several. A Morris Marina, an Austin Maxi and an Austin Allegro.

MrsMoastyToasty · 24/08/2025 13:31

A MK 1 Ford Fiesta. Well, it was the 80's.

It was an early 1990s Honda. Maybe a Civic.
