I had a VW Beetle in white similar to the pic with a Porsche engine - was fun to chase the Golf GTIs at the redlight

I had one of these.



The woman, not the car - obviously.

Back on topic, I'm not sure I'd go with a big 4x4 or an automatic for a first car. Better to learn on a manual. Something that has modern crash protection, ABS/DSC/Traction control, less momentum.

Young drivers push the limits. They don't have the experience to get out of the problems they get themselves into. You want something that is forgiving.

You mean the Mercedes A- Class is the way to go for him ?  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

I'm not keen on the A Class, but the first question is perhaps what would be normal and acceptable in his social circle, and then maybe one of the safer cars he identifies could be tried.

Beyond that, based on my young self, I would also worry that 500bhp would have potential for accidents or convictions. If your son is paying the running costs the RRS might be a daunting prospect, and at least in the UK many insurers would decline to cover a young driver for something like that.

On of my friends has supplied cars to his daughters and imposed a restriction on the number of young passengers that can be carried - it seems the case here that the risk of accidents is notably higher where there are three or more in the car. Only Range Rovers since 1988

We have fleet insurance for all our cars..... All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

A lot of the kids I know that have been bought flash cars as a first cars have had accidents. I don't know if the A class is good or bad. I do know that I wouldn't chose a RRS. I bought my son a Mini and my daughter a Fiesta.

Mini is considered by him as a girlish car (my wife, my other son and i like it) and since he has done an internship at AMG he likes Mercedes and i tried to educate him to buy British all those years  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!
