excellent: it’s Insurance Groups 1 - 2 and all
models return over 60mpg.

2. Vauxhall Corsa:
Thousands of driving instructors can’t be wrong.
The Corsa is the car of choice for driving schools
with its quality cabin, inexpensive replacement

From £9,495.

Prices begin at £7,995.

From £8,695.

mpg depending on the model.
Pricing starts at £8,725.
