It’s always a tough time in a parent’s life when it comes time for a teenager to begin driving.  For the child it’s a time of increased freedom and responsibility and for the parents a time of increased anxiety and possibly financial strain.   Once a teenager learns to drive he or she almost immediately begins to look for a car and the desired car is rarely within the budget of either the teen or the parent.   If you are looking for a reliable and Cheap Ford, then there are a lot of options for you. 

Ford makes a number of models that can fit within almost any budget.  For a Cheap Ford you can consider the Ka or the Fiesta or the Focus or the Kuga or even the Galaxy.   When talking about  choosing an affordable car for a teenager, its probably best to limit your search to coupe models and perhaps even SUVs, leaving out the mini-van.  

The Ford Focus has done extremely well worldwide and is available in 2-door sport, 3 door hatchback, and 5 door estate models.   The Focus has several engine options that range from 1.6 petrol to 2.5 petrol and diesel engines as well.   It can come with a manual or automatic gear box and it has excellent mpg, ranging from 14 mpg to 72 mpg.   The price for a new Ford Focus can be as low as £12,000 which makes this Cheap Ford a very good buy for a first car and very stylish for a teen driver.  

The Ford Fiesta is another Cheap Ford that parents of a teenager may appreciate a bit more. It’s available in 3-door hatchback and 5-door hatchback models and has a few engine options that range from 1.2 to 1.6 petrol and diesel.   It also comes with a manual or automatic gear box.  For fuel economy it is hard to beat the Fiesta, as it ranges from 43 mpg to 76 mpg.  One of the absolute best features of a new Ford Fiesta is the price, beginning at just over £9,000.   

If your teen is interested in an SUV and your budget can is just a little larger, you may even be interested in looking at the Ford Kuga.
