Put u still have to pass ur test and buy insurance...

Ride round on a ped untill u have a job and have saved up abit of money?

Heck if you buff up on you knowledge and get some A's there no reason why you couldn't get a Honda Civic. But you have to bare in mind the cost of learning to drive as well, tests, licence, lessons - then if you go out with a parent, potentially petrol.
After you pass, petrol, insurance, tax.

A lot to think about.

When you say a Honda Civic, I hope you mean the elder Type R. (Although that'd cost you a bomb..)

Depends on the driving school / instructor
£15 - £25 an hour

2 hours a week = £30-50

40 hours needed (on average)

£600-1000

£48 fee to get a provisional license

£50 per test (+ lesson fee) so £80-£100 per test


After that like has been said...

Money to buy car, insurance (can be very expensive, £1500ish), petrol etc.

Yup well, 40 hours of lessons, can be slightly less or a lot more, depending on how you are / if you fail tests
