  My 18 yr old wants to learn to drive. Great idea, but I want him to buy his own car. I'll help with the insurance but I really don't want him in mine. If its his own money he'll be more careful (I hope). So, we are looking for diesel, economy, low insurance, and bangernomics to keep the cost down
