What car did you learn to drive in?

A,micra

Gt Cortina and Ford Capri plus instructor's Ford Escort.

Volvo 440 with no power steering (our family car at the time). It really was like driving a tank, though a pretty nippy one. It was, ironically, much cheaper to insure than the little cars my friends learnt in.

Insurance hadn’t got silly then.

My first insurance policy after passing my test at 17 covered me for any motor vehicle owned or driven by me.

A Renault 5. In 1985. Had it for years, very reliable.

Another Vauxhall Corsa in the early 90s learner here!

A talbot alpine, with a dodgy third gear

I have no idea I honestly can’t remember. I can’t even remember the colour possibly blue or black 🤷‍♀️

A daihatsu? Do they even exist still?

none of this power assisted steering or auto stop. You took your foot of the brake the thing rolled backwards down the hill 😂

Rover 25. Still my best car

My mum’s F reg Ford Fiesta. I loved that car! It was 1989.

Vauxhall Corsa

Ford Fiesta (instructors car) and Ford Escort ( my dads car)

Series III landrover, it was a tank. I kept it for 20 years!

I learned in my Mum's mini, and whatever the driving instructor's car was.
My Dad had a Wartburg which he wouldn't let me drive because you had to double de-clutch, which he thought was too difficult for me.

Nissan Sunny, 5 doors, 1.6, electric windows that used to drop all of a sudden. My friend from college, I’d give a lift home to as long as he held the passenger window up. He got wet in winter

VW Beetle which I drove with L plates with DH, in the winter the choke was held out with a clothes peg or it wouldn't keep going. and I can't remember the driving instructor car, probably a Metro or similar.

A old 1960's Austin Mini 1100 estate (my first car).

Did as much driving as possible with whoever I could persuade to sit in the passenger seat for a couple of hours.
Took two lessons with an instructor (in a Metro) who confirmed I was ok to book my test.
On the day of the test my instructor (whose car I was using for the test itself) turned up in one of those new fangled Fiesta diesels! Having never driven a Fiesta (let alone a diesel!) before I was a bit flummoxed and during the test actually stalled a couple of times but passed ok as apparently I carried out the correct actions for a stall.

After my Mini I bought an Austin Maxi 1750 which in turn was replaced with a succession of Metros (my favourite car).

A Volvo 360. No power steering. Heavy as a tank.

A Citroen AX diesel. Very rattly.

A Datsun

Fiat Strada. Awful awful awful awful awful awful awful car. 1987.

Bright green Renault 4, with the umbrella handle gear shift.

A Datsun Cherry.

The Instructor had a Peugeot 205 GTD circa 1987.

A Ford Focus. Then later a Mini Cooper S.
