Suitable cars for new drivers

Anything with a rag top would of course be nice, and has the bonus that the wind noise helps keep the speed down.

But you live in Spain.......you lucky thing!

True, our nighttime temperatures are higher than your daytime temperatures at the moment, but I've lived here long enough to lose the insulation provided by porridge and full english breakfasts.

The absolute best car I ever had was in the UK, a 3-wheel, 2-seat, rag top Mini (a one-off built as an engineering apprentiship). A bit like a cheap version of the Morgan. With the 848cc engine (and about 400kg all-up weight) it wasn't fast, but by 'eck it could beat almost anything off the lights

Older Corsa is boring but competent (and slow)

Depends which one you get - the 1.6 GSi was a hoot, and don't get me started on the Calibra turbo powered ones

I had an old 1.2, it was like driving a drunken, geriatric, overweight snail! It had no soul, no character and no 'go' But it was reliable

Wouldn't swap my little Sportka for ANY Corsa. Maybe for a MINI Cooper or Cooper S
