I used to use a Vauxhall Corsa and the three that I had over the past few years proved to be very popular with my learners. I originally chose the Corsa as a Teaching car because of its looks and reliability and because a lot of new drivers find it stylish and comfortable to drive.
With 29 pupils passing in my first silver Corsa during 2006-2007, another 30 pupils passing with me in the lilac one in 2008 then a further 24 passing in 2009, 36 in the red one in 2010 and now 53 passing in 2011
''My Car'' has certainly been a very worthwhile investment!!
PS (Added Jan 2011)
My first pupil to pass in 2011 did so on 13th (lucky for some!) so its looking good
- can it get even better next year?
Lets hope so!!
I had to swap my car in August 2011 as it was beginning to play up a bit and this is never good for the nerves when it comes to Driving Tests!! I decided to go for the Hyundai i20 as several of my Instructor friends have recommended them and so far every single one of my learners likes it - and I love it!
Its got lots of extra gadgets that make it great fun and its even easier to drive than the Corsa - which has been underlined by the fact that the 2 people who took their tests in it the first week I got it, PASSED 1ST TIME, even though they didnt have very long to get used to it!
For those of you who see me out on the road, I'm easy to find as I've gone for red again - it looks very similar to my old one - spot the differences!!
