Are mutually exclusive. I expect that anything that meets your criteria will cost [s]you[/s] them more than the cost of the vehicle on insurance.

I know you're not being involved, but I'd strongly suggest you recommend they get insurance quotes before buying anything. I think if it were me I'd budget £500-1000 on something with about 50PS for the daughter and the rest on the family car.

Not mutually exclusive. You can get 3+3 bikes in a 1l polo which would be fine for a learner.

From Honest John

+Enjoyable and fun to drive. Economical engines. Sensibly priced. Feels well built. Ride harshness over bumps improved for 2011.

-Interior plastics aren't soft to touch. Side bump strips a dealer-fit option. rear seats don't fold flat.
