Coolest Learner Driver Car
Discussion
Noticed that for the last few weeks a driving instructor around my way has been using an I20N.
Probably the coolest car any driving instructor uses to give lessons!
Remember taking my GF out when she was learning to drive in my remapped Golf GTI MK7 to help her pass which was an experience lol.
Anyone else seen any cool learner drivers car?

In the PacNW of the US where F150s are everywhere...
I taught my two daughters in a red stickered and stripped out ex -autocross NA MX5 with door bars and half cage and additional structural bracing underneath. Bucket seats and harnesses, No AC, windy windows (but electric door mirrors). Base 1.6 with sensible breathing mods. It has direct steering a beautiful manual transmission and no insulation from the environment. Excellent visibility (top down unless it's raining hard). No radio (no distractions). It went on to become their `daily' until they moved away to university. Have also used it with them to do multiple road trips which makes for good father and daughter time, post test coaching and just plain miles of experience.

I see someone driving around in a bright orange MK8 Fiesta ST Performance Edition with the Team Dynamics (?) wheels, that’s worth a few bob surely. IIRC they retailed for 25k+ ?
Private vehicles on L’s, I’ve seen a Tesla Model Y, a full fat Range Rover, a big Transit van, and an MX-5.

Wouldn't you want to learn to drive in something similar that might be similar to your first car ?
Mind you, I have absolutely no idea what somebody's first car might be nowadays ?!
I learnt in a driving school Hillman Imp and mums mini 1000, first car after passing test was a Mark 3 Zodiac, just a bit larger. However in the 70s we had to buy for cash no lease or pcp so generally bought much older cars than the driving school had.Mind you, I have absolutely no idea what somebody's first car might be nowadays ?!
There are 2 unique driving school cars in my area:
Mercedes E400d All Terrain. Not liveried up, just has the roof box. I've only also only seen it once, parents seen it once more. Possibly the instructors own car they use when the normal vehicle is off the road.
Modified Fiesta ST. As in, lowered, massive spoiler, loud exhaust, front splitter. It has the full look of what a boy racer would do to their Fiesta. Not liveried up either, just the roof box but seen it enough times to know it is the instructors daily teaching vehicle. Most learner cars aren't liveried up here, only the big chain ones bother (Bill Plant etc)
