On his YouTube channel, Ben Collins takes car enthusiasts through every aspect of driving.

But until recently, he’d never provided car buying advice.

In one of the latest installments of Ben Collins Drives, he did precisely that.

As the Drivers Inc. veteran explained in the description:

“It’s one of the best moments of your life – passing your driving test and being let loose on the great open road! But with a sea of options available to you, which modern cars hit the spot for first-time drivers? And which are best avoided?

In this comprehensive review, Ben ‘The Stig’ Collins looks at some of the most popular contenders – taking into account important factors such as storage space, running costs and – of course – how they drive.”

So what did Ben have to say? Have a listen.
