With so many going to Uni from middle class areas, is it such a priority. Years ago it may be, but I passed my test at 17 but I didn't own a car until I was 25. Being at University I didn't have the funds or need, and it was only when I changed jobs and couldn't commute by bus that I finally gave in and got one.
I don't know the costs of hiring cars for under 23s these days, but I found in my youth that it was cost effective to hire a small car for the times I really needed one - weekends away etc, as opposed to owning one.
