► Crossovers offer benefits, say driving schools ► Ageing first time buyers hint at change Your age largely determines what car you learned to drive in. Those born in the Seventies might have taken their first legal drive in a Morris Marina, while those born in the Nineties will have likely learned in a Ford Fiesta. Comfortingly, several generations of car drivers will have learned to drive in basic Minis. But this could be set to change. Driving schools are increasingly adding crossovers to the range of cars on offer. The schools say that these mini-SUVs add a degree of flexibility to their cars, and they're 'more representative' of cars people will be driving. There's no denying that pitching lessons in a posh-ish crossover appeals more than a 10-year old i10.
