Cool cars for kids at Autoquake.com

Just in time for the start of the university term the UK’s leading online car retailer Autoquake.com has a wide range of trendy, safe and affordable cars in stock which are perfect for young drivers and the bank of mum and dad.

A used Mini has to be top of many young drivers’ wish list. At Autoquake.com, prices start from just £8237 for a 55-plate Mini Cooper 1.6 with 26,000 miles on the clock.

‘Any parent buying a car for their child wants the safest, most reliable car they can afford,’ said Autoquake.com CEO, Garry Hobson. ‘A teenager will want something that looks good and will impress their friends. Shopping at Autoquake.com can keep the bank of mum and dad and teenagers happy.’

‘Look for a car which has driver, passenger and side airbags. Ideally it should have stability control, too, which will help avoid an accident,’ advises Hobson. ‘Check how well these safety systems perform by looking up the car’s crash test rating at EuroNCAP.com. It’s worth using customer satisfaction and reliability surveys, and online owners’ forums, to learn which cars are reliable and which aren’t.’

Cool, safe cars start from well under £6000. More affordable but nearly as good looking as the Mini, Autoquake.com has a choice of Peugeot 207s in stock, with prices starting from £5548 for an 06-plate 207 1.4 16v Sport 3dr with 34,000 miles on the clock. The car has driver, passenger and side airbags. When crash tested by Euro NCAP, the 207 scored five out of five stars for adult occupant protection, one of the best ever scores by a supermini.

The Fiat Grande Punto also scored five stars when crash tested by Euro NCAP. Just £5697 buys an 06-plate 1.2 Dynamic 5dr which has covered 12,000 miles. While parents will appreciate the car’s safety features, teenagers will appreciate the 15-inch alloy wheels and CD player.

Buyers will find plenty of information to help them choose wisely at Autoquake.com. Every car listing includes 40 photographs, giving a comprehensive picture of the car’s condition, inside and out. The Vehicle Condition viewer shows any faults beyond normal wear and tear, and each car’s specification is listed in detail – including safety equipment.
