Since I’ve been starting my private practice currently been driving this (not going to win any races in it, nor do I plan to), it took me a while to work out exactly which model it is (a relative who works at the same company is supervising me, though its a fleet vehicle which I happen to be insured to drive as a learner due to the company bulk insurance contract)
VOLKSWAGEN Polo 3 Doors 1.2 (55 HP) (2001 – 2005) Technical Specifications & Features
BTW we recently filled it with 38.5 litres of petrol (gasoline). (It was the first time I had ever driven to a petrol station in my life to fill up a car, and I ended up having to stretch the hose to its full length as I had picked the pump on the wrong side :yakk:)
In the UK this cost around £52 (€60 or $80).
So those of you in USA or other countries might see now why not all young people here drive and many start motoring at a much later stage in life (my instructor and others in the country are saying they are regularly seeing more pupils from age 35 or older and also a lot more new migrants to the UK (who have a job which requires driving) rather than younger teenagers…
We do also have better public transport in some metropolitan (city) areas especially near London but anywhere else it is not as good.
