For new drivers that have just passed their driving test, it is highly recommended that they start off with a small fuel-efficient car that can get them used to driving on the road before they get behind the wheel of a car with more power and a bigger engine. Today we’ll be sharing 1.0 litre vehicles that would be suitable for new drivers on the market
