Toyota Yaris - when I passed I immediately bought a Yaris as I thought knowing the car would lessen my chances of crashing. Got one with fancy wheels to reduce the naffness. Still love my girl!

A Rover 200. Loved that car.

A huge Ford Granada circa late 80s. My first car was the most ancient Datsun Violet rust bucket - used to put my handbag on the choke!

A Micra - started in a mini metro and the instructor changed his car. It was a while ago!

Justlovedogs · 16/10/2025 19:33

Wow, some variety here.
For me:
Instructor - Nissan Micra (original shape, before the 'bubble', for those old enough to remember the advert!)
Practice - dad's Vauxhall Cavalier and then boyfriend's Ford Capri or his works Ford Fiesta van

Another one for the Ford Fiesta, 25yrs ago.

Ah good times, my instructor had a Vauxhall Nova.

1981 - a Triumph Dolomite. It was my dad's car and I learned in it rather than the instructor's car as it was cheaper. Looking back it was a very flashy car complete with an overdrive switch and I though I was the dog's whatshits, apart from it being bright yellow!

PistachioTiramisu · 16/10/2025 19:50

A Mini and my father's XJ6 Jaguar (off road of course).

I used to dream of owning a Dolomite Sprint. Never did get one.

My first instructor had a Mini Metro, then the second a Toyota Corolla. I went onto pass in the Corolla, not that the instructor was better but the car definitely was!

muddyford · 19/10/2025 07:25

Peugeot 205 diesel. Loved it!

I have no recollection of my driving lessons, at all.
I definitely had lessons and they would have covered around 6-7 months between my 17th birthday and passing my test.

I also practiced in my parents Nissan Sunny.
