Buying a used Ford car for your first car is an extremely sensible choice. Lots of people will offer you advice on what car to get when you first branch out on your own, but you will find that certain Fords crop up time and again. Generally, the Ford Ka and the Ford Fiesta are held in great regard by first time drivers.

Attractions of these two used Ford cars

The Ford Ka is slightly smaller than the Ford Fiesta and so is a good choice for people who don’t have to ferry people around too often. Simple and stylish, the Ka also offers a really good drive and is nippy enough for motorway drivers.

The Fiesta affords a touch more room, especially in its later guises. The Fiesta enjoys a reputation for being very reliable – that’s why you see so many of them out on the roads, new and used.

Another major attraction of these two cars is that they can both be insured very cheaply and are in very low tax brackets. This means that they are incredibly economic choices, which will be important to you if you are on a tight budget as most first time drivers tend to be.
