estate agent fully managed lettings ??

Fully managed lettings, university city also.
Anyway, has had to graft and put up with being really skint, but seems to be paying off.

Actually makes quite a lot of sense.

1) Its new so you know the car is mechanically sound.
2) Its a two seater so no chance of them turning into mr taxi. So no distractions while getting used to driving it
3) It will handle better than most tulipty little first cars so at least if the kid is a dick the car will help out a bit more than a 10 year old 106.
4) You can stick a black box in it that basically guarantees that they will behave themselves.
5) you can probably get it on a finance deal for less than £200 a month...

What about insurance? Surely that's sky high.

Specialist insurance and a black box would be my guess. You always hear scare stories about first year costs more than the cars worth but I see plenty of kids driving nice cars down here so it can eb that bad.

True, but they manage more than student digs. One of their competitors recently folded, so they now manage their client base too.
