New learners (L Plate) manual car choices
Discussion
I have a quandary on a good choice learner car.
Will potentially be my car, a mid size hatch preferred for family duties, 4 in the car and need luggage space - something to share.
Those typical first learner cars isn t feasible for my usage such as Citroen C1 etc.
Modern cars I see don t have manual handbrake, do kids these days learn with them? Or are most E Brakes?
What would you choose which are reliable and decent, open to hear thoughts from used cars ranging from £3-10k to see the range of choices.
Cheaper I look at VW Polo, but Golf size preferred, but something 1.0-1.4 litre petrol probably better for insurance. Open to Japanese, German etc.

Skoda Fabia 1.0 tsi
Thanks. Are the 1.0 across the VAG similar. I have a family member with it in a an A3, but see them in VW, Seat etcI’m not really a Ford fan, but see the 1.0 ecoboost in fiesta and focus; both with manual hanbrakes.
Or for those who have had new learners are Electronic handbrakes okay to learn in?

Scrumplet the younger recently passed her driving test. Her instructor’s car had an electronic handbrake with hill hold assist. Modern cars I see don t have manual handbrake, do kids these days learn with them? Or are most E Brakes?
