For those of us living in cities, it's often difficult to argue the case for owning a car these days. We enjoy good public transport links and everyday comforts within walking distance: in comparison, a car seems to present little but a financial nightmare. Parking is either extortionate or impossible primarily due to a combination of stiff council permit charges and narrow, busy streets. Earlier this year, Barnet borough council announced they intend to more than double the cost of an annual parking permit. Car owners, even those who strive to be as environmentally conscious as possible, are never at the top of any government favours list.For those of us living in cities, it's often difficult to argue the case for owning a car these days.

Yet, despite facing rising insurance, petrol and tax costs in addition to the various problems above, the ownership of a car is still an aspiration of many young people. There are some practical advantages, of course: moving house, visiting relatives in far-off parts of the country. And it's not that the average eighteen-to-twenty year old is hoping for anything extraordinary from their first vehicle: small and second or third-hand, hopefully clean, will be enough.There are some practical advantages, of course: moving house, visiting relatives in far-off parts of the country.

It seems that ownership of a car, even a fifteen year old hand-me-down from a relative, still represents something that can outweigh even considerable downsides. So while a first car will inevitably be as uncomplicated as used Aygo from Newcastle, it is also the opportunity to make a real investment for the first time. That small, slightly battered second-hand car represents a freedom to travel out of the city on a whim to pick up the keys and drive; to find somewhere new.That small, slightly battered second-hand car represents a freedom to travel out of the city on a whim to pick up the keys and drive; to find somewhere new.
