I’ve just had a quick look and I think under 25’s have a great choice, even 2.0l engines cars like Mazda CX-30 Suzuki S-Cross, I wish I could have had a car like them before I was 25.
My first cars were a Triumph Dolomite Sprint followed by an Opel Manta GTE. I can see why a lot of under 25’s turn their nose up at the scheme.
