Best used small car for my 18-year-old son?

What are your suggestions for the best used car for my 18-year-old son? Also, what is the best insurer for affordable cover for him?

I can't tell you which insurer will be cheapest but NFU Mutual was named as the best in our 2020 Satisfaction Index: www.honestjohn.co.uk/honest-john-satisfaction-inde...e

Best car? I'd recommend a Suzuki Swift 1.2 petrol, Ford Fiesta 1.25 petrol or Toyota Yaris 1.3 petrol. All are easy to drive, plentiful on the used market and have a good reputation for reliability.
