Fun P plate legal cars

With many states of Australia now adopting power restrictions for new cars based on cylinder count or whether they have forced induction, many young drivers feel like they're forced to drive around boring cars for the early stages of their motoring career. The aim of this page, is to list cars which are not only quick and fun to drive, but also P plater legal.

There'll be age limitations (depending on price, but cars new enough to be suitable daily drivers are the aim).

This is by no means a 'you should buy this' thread, it's just stating what's available for P platers.

Oh, and if you're wondering what on earth would possess a person to create such a page, especially since they're on their full licence? Boredom.

If the car is a grey import, then please include IMPORT after the entry.
