    Good two-seat first car?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota HiLux Toyota HiLux Advice Toyota HiLux 2015 Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2015

    I'm seeking advice on the purchase of a used car for an almost 18-year-old boy who is getting his licence in early February. He wants a two-seater so when he gets his licence he will easily be able to avoid pressure to "overload", so has decided on a two-door ute. It needs to be an auto. He has $9000 so, of course, it will have to be quite old. As a parent I want him to be in the safest car possible and reliability is very important too but we have no idea what to look out for.

    I bought a Toyota HiLux last year which I love, and it would be in your budget, but a Falcon would also be good. Avoid anything too old, also high-mileage, or with go-faster modifications.
