At first my instructor had a newish Fiesta, which wasn't very fast but I was learning so you know whatever. Then that broke or something and he got a Fiesta Turbo Diesel to replace it, that was sooo much faster, getting used to it after about 3 lessons with the slower one was really annoying.
And then I got given my Matiz, and learned and took the test in that. Which was a great choice for 3 point turns, reverse parking and reversing round a corner. Its ******* slow though.
