I am 20 years old and have been driving for 3 years now. My first and only car I have had in my driving career is a Nissan Micra. I love my little car. My car has served me well and is reliable about 90 % of the time. The most obivous reasons for have a small little 1 lt car is the insurance for young people, the economic value for the price concious - I get aroungd 400 miles out of a tank of petrol - a tank costing me £32 (current petrol price of £107.9). The only times I have felt that my car is unreliable is if I move my car after it has been sitting dormant for a day to a different part of the drive and switch it of. It then has trouble starting but other than that it has been a dream to drive and a pleasure to learn. Perfect cars for first time drivers, for price concious people (like me!) and for people who just want a little reliable car to get them from A - B.
