    What was your first car?

    As the title says

    At the moment, im using my sisters Micra, but getting my own first car next summer hopefully, that way, my insurance will have come down slightly from £3500, maybe down too £3400

    Me and my brother shared mum's old Peugot 106...Key West Edition (Oh yeh). Then we shared a new style fiesta for a bit. Now I just "share" dad's Audi A5

    I've not yet said anything useful, but feel free to give me +Rep anyway

    why not just get public transport for a few years then get yourself a really nice car. Im 26 and have never driven due to my eyesight, but Ive never had a problem getting anywhere on my bike, bus, or train.

    Public transport differs so vastly across the country French that sometimes that just isn't viable. Until that time, a car is a deal breaker for employment, school, shopping...anything really
