First car to learn in - Fiat 500?

My wife is on her 3rd Skoda Citigo. Brilliant wee cars. None have ever had any problems apart from the current one needing new disks at 10k miles, probably due to the car having done about 2k miles over the previous 18 months.
 
I hoped to my test in this 1955 Austin A 30 but it broke down before my test.
I had to use my BIL's A35 at the last minute and it seemed ginormous.
But I passed the first time :love:

It's okay, it's just back and forth stuff. A guy I knew wanted to do what you suggested for his son, for his first car. He thought he would be safer in a big car but he was over ruled by his wife. He had a good grumble about it to me once ?
Seen p.enty of people turn up for tests in bigger cars..
One came in Dad's Jag - so big he had to leave the car park first because the other cars couldn't get round him...
One came in a Range Rover, fairly o,d but...
Best one was an Iranian guy who had been on an international licence and had to take a test..
Obviously a fairly well-heeled businessman.....turns up in, literally, a brand new M5 with a couple of hundred miles on the clock...
Examiner loved that one..

Are you suggesting it may impact the judgment of the examiner ?. I bet their eyes light up ?

There's a video on youtube of somebody in the states doing their test in a Bugatti veyron.
 
I’d be doing some solid research regarding the Fiat 500 safety rating before splurging any cash. If memory serves the later models did not score all that well.
