So, 17 year old need cars… but they can’t be bothered with reliability issues and unnecessary repair costs? Here are our top five new cars for teenagers that you can get on a pretty affordable lease deal.

 

The Fiat 500 – Cars

Fiat500

The reincarnation of the Fiat 500 has been around for 15 years now and design wise, it still looks so fitting with today’s market. It’s quirky styling, low running costs and smart features are why it’s made our list today. The 500 had a small facelift in 2015, which brought new materials, more colour options and in 2022 Fiat added hybrid technology to the 1.0 70bhp engine you can find across the range. Meaning in today’s fuel-price crisis, the 500 should get you around 60mpg. You can get a brand new Fiat 500 for £149 per month, 5000mpa over 48 months with a £1300 deposit with leasing.com.

The Ford Fiesta

Ford Fiesta

Ford has updated the Fiesta for 2022, with an updated design and quirkier looks. Since its launch in 1976, Ford has sold over 16 million of the small hatchbacks and you can see why! The Fiesta has always been known great cars to drive, being able to put a smile on your face on every journey. Due to the popularity of the Fiesta, insurance is low as long as you stay away from the ST-Line and ST versions as a 17 year old. You can get the Fiesta on the same lease deal as the Fiat 500, for around £230 per month.
