I'd like a sporty diesel for a young driver...

What would you recommend as a reliable sporty diesel car for a young driver and easy to insure?

Thanks

Hi Eoin,

Young driver insurance is always going to be a sticking point, and adding sporty into the mix is just going to drive your premium up and up and up. You really need to stick to as small a diesel engine as possible, so how about a SEAT Ibiza 1.4 TDI? It’s a good looking car, roomy and reliable, and has a whiff of a sporting image that can be added to with body kit and wheel options as and when your budget allows.
