Buying your first car is always a responsible task. Not only because an inexperienced driver runs the risk of making a mistake and choosing an unreliable or unsuitable car for his needs, but also because not every car is suitable for beginners.
It can hardly be called a smart decision to buy an expensive and difficult-to-drive supercar or a huge SUV immediately after obtaining the license. It is best to take an old and compact car with good handling and a high level of safety. The experts at SlashGear have identified ten models with mileage that are best suited for such a situation.
