To buying a new car or a second-hand car

Last week, my husband got a G2 driving licence. Therefore, we decided to buy a car. If we have a car, our life will become more convenient. We can take the car to go shopping or go to the supermarket instead of on foot. What kind of car should we buy? Should we choose a new car or a second-hand car? It's a difficult question for us. Maybe it depends on our budget for buying car. In Toronto, besides paying for the buy, you must also spend some money on insurance. So it's quite complicated I think.
