If you want to buy a cheap car you probably should look towards the superminis which because of their size and comparatively small engines, also come with reasonably low price tags.

There are many to choose from on the UK market but one of the better ones is arguably the Ford Ka.
If you’re a young driver, this is the cheapest car for you to own either new or used as it’s on average the cheapest car for a 17-18 year old new driver to insure. You could get a decent used Ford Ka for as little as £300 while a new model will cost you around £7,500. The Ford Ka is also said to be fun to drive as it’s nimble but fairly firm. CO2 emissions are around 115g/km and the car is fairly frugal.
But in addition to this the Ford Ka is also not very popular amongst car thieves. Price comparison website Confused.com reports of no thefts among nearly 10,000 owners in the last seven years. The reason for this is that they don’t consider the Ford Ka as being desirable enough to steal. The most stolen cars according to the same website are the Toyota Yaris, the Volkswagen Touareg and the Volvo XC90. The big 4x4s are apparently often stolen to use for ram raiding somewhere else. Porsche 911 is another vehicle which is popular to steal both for its value and performance.
But regardless of what type of car you do own, in order to minimize the risk of being targeted by car thieves there are some simple things you can do to deter criminals. Always tidy away all your valuables and keep the car keys somewhere safe in your home. Also when parking, turn your wheels towards the curb as this makes the car harder to tow away. Also cars which are personalised or very distinctive are less likely to get stolen because they are so recognisable. So perhaps spray-paint your car pink if you dare.
