Brandon's First Car | HOW MUCH DID HE PAY? 

Recently bought a pair of your foot apparell and oh, my, LORD! Incredibly comfy, recommend to learners and experienced drivers alike!

I have to disagree with the P plates, people see that you've passed so they expect you to have the same sudden knowledge and experience as a person who's driven for 20 years. It's better to just blend in so people don't know. A lot of bullies on the roads, don't wear the freshman sticker.

How is he still getting lectured 😂😂 love it!

Thanks for all of the kind supportive messages guys, appreciate you all!

It’s great to have more videos with Brandon. A legendary video I say would be a video with both Brandon and Taz in it. That would be epic.

Pin can’t resist still being the instructor in every way! 😂

I’ve learnt in my instructor’s car and he’s got exactly the same of what you got! It’s a lovely car Brandon! So happy you’ve got your first car!

Brandon also has an automatic brake in this car, when he stops and presses the brake pedal again, the parking brake will be activated, which is useful at traffic lights or while waiting on a hill.

lets be honest, Brandon aint getting no hoes in those driving shoes

When you press the foot brake harder you will activate the handbrake , so you don't have to keep pulling the button everytime you want to put the handbrake on :D

I relate to Brandon so much with the parents as passengers thing - my mum's always saying I'm too close to the curb, and dad's very critical of even the most minor mistake. I drive much better alone or with mates.

Brandon is a genuine guy and you can tell.

Passed yesterday morning with 1 minor! Same as Brandon passed on my 2nd time, so glad to finally join the ‘Passed but still watches’ crew. Cheers Pin for all the videos they were a massive help

I love watching this. Almost reminds me of getting my first car back in July, haven't stalled it yet after 8 months of being a new driver.

Congratulations Brendon. Very nice car indeed. My first and only car is my 2013 Hyundai i10. Got it used in 2015 and we're still going strong. Hope you grow as attached to your car as I have.

It’s a good feelin when you get your first car congratulations brandon🎉🎉

Hey Pin, what happened with Taz, love to see an update with her too.

I just passed my test first time around an hour ago, 5 minor faults. I am honestly so excited, and so thankful to not only my instructor, but to you. I was watching these videos long before I had even started my lessons, because I am a very panicky person. These videos and your Ultimate Driving Course helped me so much you do not even understand. THANK YOU! Also, the examiner lady was extremely nice and kept the conversation going to ease any sort of stress, I thank her for that too.

i got a Toyota yaris t sport for £1700 as my first car :))

All the best to Brandon, he's very teachable, even after passing he's still is up for some lessons. Nice car too. I passed last week first time with 8 minors. Wasn't easy as I'd been on and off learning for 3 years. So grateful to God, my instructor, my mum and brother for letting me use their car when they weren't busy and these videos Pin, really helpful! for those learning, keep going and don't give up. you will pass! I'm looking for cars now. Any suggestions for a fairly small and cheap car in good condition for a new driver?

10:39 I feel for this guy so much, nothing but pain and suffering

You should get Brandon to do a mock test, would be entertaining

£430 a month for a car..? Sheesh, couldn't be me, mate. But congrats, its a nice looking car.

Don't worry Brandon, I was taught in a diesel car and bought my first petrol honda civic, 5 mins on driving, stalled like 3 times and 2 more later on...ah the fun sight of people swearing at me.

wait a minute! im still waiting on this type of video with Taz. wheres the update 🤔

Just as a reference for others, I also just passed and got my first car, managed to get an 58 plate Corsa SXI for £1600 from an auction house, repairs took another £250 and insurance was just under £900. (Be aware I am over 25 and do not pay monthly for insurance)

I got my first car six weeks ago. A 2003 Honda CR-V 2.0 Auto and cost me £2,995 (high price due to the current high 2nd hand market) I’m 54 and insurance was £950 (no black box) I had to drive it from Burnley to Manchester on the motorway (no previous motorway lessons) in pouring rain. Talk about thrown in the deep end. But I coped with the pressure really well. I’ve currently done over 400 miles with trips out gaining experience.

So happy for this dude. He worked hard, but it all paid off. Perfect. 😃

I got my first car last month after passing on December and I am still terrified to park 😆 I literally refuse to drive to a place where I have to parallel park but I guess I have to suck it up and just do it 🤟🏻 Congratulations on your first car Brandon 🎉

Passed my test 2 weeks ago, driving around in my own car. But this I could not do now lol, taking my driving instructor out 😂

the car reads the last speed sign it sees for the dashcam - happened during my driving test last week (which i passed!) where at a crossroad the road ahead had a sign saying 20 but i turned right which was a 30 road but no signs came up immediately. so i did 20 on a 30 and got a minor and then i told my instructor after and he explained that the car read the 20 sign and assumed 20 until it saw a 30 sign

Congrats on your first car Brandon! I had my driving test fairly close to when you had yours, bought a new car (a ford as well) a month ago and I’ve loved the videos. The only exception is that I live in Greece. Happy travels man, stay safe!

Beautiful car Brand.. I was after a focus at the beginning after passing in December 2021. I came across a vauxhall insignia 2.0 diesel and it's so awesome. It literally feels like 2nd nature now being on the road. Been driving it a week. Congratulations on your first car my friend 👍

Congrats Brandon on your new car ! I wanted focus too . Started learning when I was 36 years old , passed at 37 so I'm a bit older driver lol got myself an old fiesta when started learning but after passing I bought Suzuki Vitara which is about same price as your focus . I pay about the same in total for my car , but I'm looking to change to a different insurance company soon as I can get it about 50 pounds cheaper .

I passed the exam on a car like a brandon, and I bought the first Audi A3 2009 2.0 Turbo 140HP car. Insurance without a black box came out 900f a year I am 25 years old

What about Taz thought you were going to do a video of her and her first car? So how is she getting on with driving and what car she got then?

Banging wheels Brand. I can just imagine Pin in an Uber, giving the driver a lesson as they go.

Just get a used car it’s cheaper as well

Brandon is DGN family.🤝

Nice one Pin & Brandon, nice video! And great to see you test-driving your new car Brandon. Look forward to you having some motorway lessons in the future! All the best!

5 year finance, 17k? Jeez. Paid £1400 for my Mini and I love it, glad I never financed and got stuck with massive debt like that.

Great find, Brandon! I passed two years ago, my first car (which I still have) is a 56-plate Nissan Micra, BUT it only has 19,000 miles on it which is great for a 16-year-old car! Cost me £1,800. My insurance was £1,400 the first year (no black box, I was 36, my mum named as additional driver). Two years later with no claims, it's £530!

Look at how the tables have turned. Congrats Brandon🎉 I passed in November and I still don't have a car😞 hopefully it won't be that long till I get mines.

Sick first car I'll tell ya that! Congrats

I'm so happy to see you continuing to make videos with Brandon!

I passed my test over 2 years ago now and just bought my first car which is also a Ford Focus! 2013 Titanium X Nav :) Congrats Brandon🎉

Finally part of the passed but still watching gang💯👏🏿 this channel was a massive help

I passed my test today I really felt your videos and course help so thank you 😊 x

For a new driver. I would not recommend getting a car on Finance or leasing a car because if your car breaks down. You will have to pay for the repairs when there is no car.

*at Brandon's wedding* Pin: "so you want the ultimate driving course yeh?"

Bought my first car 18 months ago, after passing, It's a beautiful 10-year-old sunshine yellow Corsa and I'm in love with it

I’m 19 with an st line x in blue and the nice wheels haha sorry Brandon but my guyyyyy tho it’s a sick shape init , hard work pays off bran mines a 1.5 diesel 120 horsepower

çøñgråtülātîôñs... on your new car!!! superb video.

I hope he had his Driver Medics on! Edit: Just seen that he does!

'Qualified Driver' haha Big up Brandon🔥🔥

brruuhh, thats a very nice first car. Congrats man I recently got my 1st car as well, definitely not even close to as nice as this one.

That a sweet looking car. Still saving for my car after my driving test.

Would love to see Taz and Brandon together in a video !

Passed today with 6 minors, thanks so much for all the useful tips it was honestly such a big help

As a HGV qualified driver. It's so frustrating watching these guys reverse so slowly and painfully bad lol... But hey' I was the same in my little Micra car way back haha 😜

On 22/3/2022 I passed my driving test!!! I was actually skilful enough the 1st time but I failed due to nervousness. Today is my redemption and I passed with 2 points to spare(From Singapore) the standard of driving here is one of the strictest in the world so I’m so happy to pass, my 19th birthday was literally 2 days ago, best present for myself!

Brandonnnnn if you could invest that £400 every month for the next 5 years in any fund that pays you at least 10% , let me tell you that you’ll be a very rich man!!!

THIS MAN GOT A 68 PLATE AS A FIRST CAR?!?!

I passed today first time with 2 minors! Your videos have definitely helped. Thank you!

I passed ,2 days ago 🎉.thank you for all tips

Congratulations, be safe and enjoy your car Brandon!.🙌🏼🤗 It would be great if you do mock tests in the rush hours, I had my test this Monday at 12pm and they have changed it for me for next Monday at 14:30pm. However I will be passing in sha allah. Wait for an update 😁

That's a really nice car! I want to buy a car like this on finance but as a uni student I don't really have a stable income so I might just get a car for under 2k, use it for like a year or so until I can afford something a bit more expensive.

Insurance seems quite high for a 23 year old 😮 I got insured at 17 (with a black box) on my 1.8 litre Vauxhall Vectra for £1350 a year. The black box will help you get your price down, though. My second year was £880 and my current year of insurance (third year) is £630 and that’s now without a black box. Congratulations on the car, Brandon. 👏🏽 Enjoy driving :) Brandon makes a good point about the P plates. People do generally treat you in a worse way with P plates on than without, which is a shame.

Nice car happy for him but I could never pay 17k for a fiesta or a focus no matter how new it is. Just not my thing but that’s just my personal opinion, you do you champ!

Mum and dads bank account😂😂😂😂

15k for your first car (finance)🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ don’t get me wrong it’s nice but you don’t wanna spend that much on your first car

When i passed in 2015 i bought (well financed) the same car as what i learnt in which was a ford fiesta 1.0 ecoboost which was great

Hey, congrats for the car, I actually have the same car (also as my first car) and I've been using it for a while! I'm 21 and I also recently got the driving license so it's basically the same situation as yours but in Italy and 4 months later. Here are some tips for you: 1. Handbrake: you can use it for starting on a hill by holding it UP, and when you release it, it will set OFF automatically. The passenger can also use it to slow down the vehicle in case of an emergency by pulling it UP and keeping it UP until the car is stopped, however you can override it by keep pushing the accelerator. (A lot of cars with electronic handbrake has this feature) 2. Autobrake: it's the button you have under the Handbrake one (it's like this: "(A)"). You can enabling it by pushing it. If it's enabled it will automatically apply the brakes when you are completely stopped and press the brakes harder. When the car is holding the brakes the "(A)" icon will appear on your cluster display and it will release the brakes when you build enough power to overcome the hill you're on (so basically the correct throttle and clutch pedal). It also works when you are not on a hill so you can avoid putting the real handbrake on. Also if the autobrake is holding the brakes and you open the door, unbuckle the driver or turn off the car, it will automatically put your handbrake on. 3. Auto Start/Stop: it's ON by default and it will turn of the engine if you're stopped, the battery is charged enough and the temperature is correct. It will also restart the engine for you if you stall it. You can disable it by pressing the "A" button on the last button on the right of the gear lever. It will automatically disable if you put your car in the Sport mode and it will be more aggressive if you are in the Eco mode (which I probably used one time only) 4. Driving modes: if you put your car in Eco mode the acceleration it's a lot smoother, it will help you to get used to your new car. It's the first button on the right of the gear lever. I usually use Sport mode when I'm entering the highway so I get the best acceleration in case I need it (and it's also funny). 5. De-fogging: if you rotate the A/C temperature to the max (and then rotate it harder to make it click) it will automatically set your A/C settings to the Windshield to quickly de-fog it. When you're finished you can re-click it and it will restore the previous A/C settings. 6. Automatic emergency call: if you pair your bluetooth device and enable the Automatic Emergency Call on the screen, in case of an accident it will connect to your phone, call the emergency services, send the coordinates (and occupants info) to them and open the line for you to speak to them. Read the manual as it's full of amazing stuff and knowing your car it's only going to help you! I freaking love this car and I'm sure you will too! If you need something else don't hesitate to contact me, have a nice day :) Aaaand sorry for my bad english :D

i just passed today with 4 minors, sick videos

how the hell did he get such low amount on his insurance, first car 1.5 diesel and just 1.7k

It's good to see Brandon we thought we never see you again after you pass the exam and congrats for your new car stay safe.

I was wondering what the hell the 'pewn' noise was... its Brandon 😅 Pick my new car up in 2 weeks time after passing in December, can't wait.

Congrats brandon 🎉 Way to go 👍

The PARK brake is only for parking on an incline. For holding the car without the brake pedal there is the BRAKE HOLD function. It's not gonna be good for the park brake motors to keep engaging and disengaging

Jheeez 🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥

Passed first time last week with 4 minors. Don’t have any help family wise whatsoever id be happy with a £500 car. I’m worried but the time I save for a car I’ll forget how to drive I probably will be way to scared to get in.. wasted so much money

i've got a corsa which cost £900 and £1355 a year to insure, great car so far and no issues

brandon knows for a fact hes only checking his blind spots because pin is there, as soon as hes on his own that goes out the window i bet.. defo not saying i done the same once i passed 🤷😂😂

I got a Renault Clio 3 5 door for my first car, got it a year ago. It is aa 2006 model and had around 36,500 miles on the clock the day I bought it and It is now currently on 40,200 miles now. Bought it off my next door neighbor for £1,800 and it is big enough.

a lot of money for a car like that,I got a polo 6c gti for my first car and I only paid 2.2k on insurance with no black box,I don’t know if it’s where u live because I live in a tiny village in Yorkshire so not much crime at all

I learnt to drive in a similar ford focus, if you hard press the brake it'll automatically put the handbrake on - saves you messing with the switch!

I got a 14 plate Astra (May aswell be 15 plate as it was registered late december) for £2100, 1.6 Diesel and due to the EcoFlex engine it's Tax free. Insurance for the year is about £1300 as a lump sum. It took about 2 weeks of looking at cars to find this so it's definitely doable, just have to give the cars a good check and walk away from any red flags.

Parked by my house 🏠 🤣

Great car but i wouldnt recommend getting a car like this as a first car, Chances of you hitting something is still quite high in your first year driving alone, wouldnt risk it. Get a 1500 pound use car and you're fine, cheaper insurance too, obviously wont be the most fanciest but hes paying around 475 for insurance and loan etc + he will be paying for petrol, any repairs, road tax.. itll be a lot more than 475 a month. I mean if you can afford it go for it, but better to get a cheaper car for first few years- plus youll build your no claim premiums if you dont hit anything = a lot cheaper insurance especially when the car is more expensive the insurance is more expensive it helps.

I PASSED MY TEST FIRST TIME TODAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LESSONS PIN!!

Awwww love Brandon, wishing him all the luck with his driving

Electric handbrake the best thing since slice bread! Nice first car well done 👏

My dad is a qualified driving instructor and taught me to drive. I passed my test in January 2022 and recently got my first car. I was driving back with him and he has such a bad habit of going for the dual controls. It's weird driving your instructor dad because he gets annoyed when I ask questions and I am fully in control.

Damn what a first car. Puts my 2010 Corsa to shame. I'm trying to save my focus money on a deposit on a house, then I'll worry about my next car lol.

Passed my driving and wanna get a new car but the insurance is brazy 😩

Puts my first car to Corsa SE to shame, nice car stay safe

Its a bit stupid getin a expensive car for a first car in case you crash then ya insurance is gunna go sky high think about that one

I passed around 6 years ago and still remember stall. I'd learned in a diesel Mini and bought a 2.0 petrol Golf. Struggled with biting point 😂😂

Got my driving test tommorow wish me luck 👍🏼

Corrr nice car brandon ive got the focus mk2 1.6L, things a beast but i always wanted the newer focuses i jus didnt wana spend that much on a first car
