    The options you have slected are all going to be high insurance for a new driver, more sensible to get something a bit lower powered for a fw years.

    Have you priced up the insurance to check it out. Been there, done that. Amy's still got a provisional licence, I put her on my insurance a year or two ago for a year and it wasn't too bad, a few hundred extra as a learner, but was warned by the insurance company rep that even as a named driver, once she passed her test her insurance rates would go through the roof. Worth checking before you decide on car fella.

    I would have thought it best to sit her in a choice of cars to see which suits her best, my wife is only 5ft so we bought a car that adjusts seats and steering wheel for reach and tilt, otherwise she is too close to the wheel.It also suits me at 6ft.

    Fiesta Zetec S TDCI. Nice small car for a new driver, looks quite nice and should be pretty cheap to run and insure.
