So I'm saving to learn to drive. I've had enough of putting it off, and it needs to be done if me & shona are gonna live together and I'm gonna get to work. Has anyone here done an intensive course? Anything you can recommend? Thinking I'm definitely wanting to do it that way so it's done, yknow? Cannot be bothered spending months on lessons.
Secondly, if/when it all goes well, where do I start? I'm thinking I'm wanting an actual hatchback and not a supermini. I'm 6'4" and want to be comfortable. Things that are important are emissions (for road tax dealios), fuel economy and how it feels inside the car. That new fangled android connectivity would be cool too.
Looking at official manufacturers sites is an exercise in frustration, especially when you don't have a clue what each trim does/means.
Baw Jaws suggested the Seat Ibiza or a Polo which look good! Anyone else?
Thanks in advance.

Was considering waiting for the new model but to get the same spec type in the new shape you’d be talking £400-500 a month, got it all for under £300. If you’re looking for a good deal get searching for contract hire options on the A-Class.

Have to say I hate the cabin design of the facelift coming this summer, so yes, good time to get one of the last of the old ones.
Out of interest, what sort of spec did they throw at the one you're getting?
