Welcome
As regards a car all depends on how much you have to spend.
One word of advice never ask advice on what car to buy on any internet forum you will just get confused with the conflicting answers
For what its worth a VW Polo is a pretty safe bet too

[Novak1d]

Thanks
between £250-£500
i have bin told that VW Polo are a good first time drivers car.

Your list will be endless but best bet is small engine and no trick bits...will only screw you on insurance, best just putting up with it for a year or so to build your NCD.

Try a 'local' search on autotrader / ebay and stick a maximum of £500 in, you'd be supprised what comes up.

[Novak1d]

Yeah would like a 1.2 do?
whats NCD??
I have lookedon the autotrader website i have seen a fewcars that i could insure but the distance is abit to far for my dad to drive and it is tight as he works weekdays and im working saturdays.

[slomax]

anything that is small and cheap and less than 1.4 will be cheapish to insure. compared to others. NCD is No Claims Discount. The number of years you drive without claiming as long as you are the main driver on the insurance. IE not fronting or named driver etc etc.

[Novak1d]

Okay thanks
ahh right thanks for that i was wonderign what it was

Go for a Ford Ka...safe, simple and cheap to maintain

[Novak1d]

My dad would disown me if i bought one of them.

Wouldn't knock them, sensible little car and cheap for running, repair and insurance. Do remember your insurance is going to cost you a small fortune and the likelyhood of breaking something is high.

[Novak1d]

They good cars but i rather not get disowned by my dad as he is a mechanic so he can fix my car when it breaks down

[supra legend]

I would recommend something like a 1.2 Corsa, Cheap on the insurance and would be good fun on the roads around here

Whatever car you decide to get, make sure and take your Dad with you to give it the once over, don't be fooled by shiny paint and assurances that it runs perfectly when it warms up.
Check out the cost of insuring it too, before buying.
Living in Rhyl, as you do I wouldn't get any thing too nice, as some scrote might nick it, get your Dad to fit a hidden ignition cut out to it.
