peugot 405 estate. It was my dad's. Had zero lessons from an instructor and passed first time. Took my test in it too.

2.7TDi Nissan Terrano II, long wheel base. I bought one recently, fond memories came back!

I learnt in it about... 12 years ago?

A faded, red, Ford KA - Surprisingly fun on country roads!

Edit:

A car driven legally on the road in which I prepared for my license, was a Skoda Fabia 2011 1.4 TDI

I learned in 2007 and my car was an N-reg Nissan Almera. My instructors car was a Honda Logo (which was crap) and then he switched to a 306 Diesel (which was also crap). I much preferred my Nissan!

I feel lucky that the Mini 1.5 Diesel I did my test in was actually a decent car now!

Datsun 100a f11

Vauxhall Corsa. Second attempt today, failed, 4 minors 1 serious. I completely knew my mistake afterwards as well, totally avoidable. Hopefully, should be ok next time, all booked up already.

A Mk4 Ford Fiesta 1.4 Ghia. Petrol, which was nice. They'd only just been released at the time.

Robzere31 · 22 Jul 2015 at 16:05

Passed my test in a 1987 Austin Maestro 2l diesel.

Gaijin · 22 Jul 2015 at 16:05

Rover 25 Diesel. Terrible choice of car for a learner.

Ford Fiesta, I think, can't remember too well... now I feel old :|

In 2003
Parents: 1995 Mercedes C220 Sport (which I later landed in some trees)
Instructor: Daewoo Matiz

Learned in my Mum's 1993 Astra. 5 years later, I bought it off her and it became my first car. Sold it yesterday for the princely sum of one crate of beer.

Fiat Uno

My instructor's car was a Y reg Corsa, he upgraded it to a slightly newer model just after I passed which I took pass plus in.
My parents had an R reg 306 which I "practiced" with and used once I'd passed my test.
