Driving instructor car? Swift Sport?

[DFNorfolk]

Hello

I’m about to start the third, and final part, of my driving instructor training and it also looks like I’m about to sell my FK2 Civic so looking for something suitable to replace this with.

I don’t fancy leasing or pcp’ing an instructor car as that means I have a fixed cost to cover every month in the early days of starting instructing, unless others with more knowledge/experience suggest otherwise?

I’m happy to spend between £5.5k to £7.5k on something for the first 12 months and think a Swift Sport would be good, any other suggestions?

Many Thanks

Suzuki swift Booster jet 1.0 2017 onwards should be in budget. Decent turn of speed. 60 mpg and popular with instructors locally.

Instructer near me has been using the same Fiat Panda at least five years.

Would it need to be converted to dual control and does that have a bearing on which car you can choose?
