Second Car?

[Asaxo]

Bare in mind your nearly 18 and looking for an upgrade from a 1.1i Saxo..
Your 1 year no claims is due in just over a month..
Your a broke college student, earling under a hundred squid a week..
You want something cheap on the insurance and good mpg, and with these you want average / good performance.
What did you have as your second car when you were 18?
Is the above just not going to happen until your older, like 19/20?
Thanks.

What made you change from a VTS?
And how much were you paying TPFT for that?
Cheers for the advice btw!

Oh ok.
Yeah I do like your car. I see your selling it?! If only I had 12k..

[Karl]

Why you selling it then mate?

Asaxo, get a VTR, cheap to insure and run...

[MARTYN19588]

fancy a audi a4 or a 3 series

Yeah I would love a VTR.. but keep getting quotes for around 2k.
And that is with 1 YNC too.
Its a joke.

im in the same situation as you mate. ive got a furio. nice enough cars and you car run and insure them for under 100 a week easy.

i got quoted less than that when i was 17 on a vtr tpft, got quoted 1700 with no driving experience. then got insured on my dads car wrote it off got a vtr and am now insured for 2000 but thats with a write off against me at 17

[Jackman]

My second car was a Saxo Furio.

Had it for a year.

swapped it for a Corsa GSi replica

Swapped that for a 106 Quiksilver. killed that

Got the 205 now :)

kept my first car until 19, then got my S. Point being- If you wait a little longer, you can get a car with heaps more go rather than just upgrade a tiny bit due to lack of funds. If I were in your position, I'd hang on to the 1.1, scrounge up some fundage and get a better car later. Of course, if you're dying to get out of the 1.1, then you may well see it differently... Furios are very good balance for fun/affordability imo.

[steve_335]

i'm 18 and have a 1.1, i'm going to keep it for a few years, probably end up running it into ground with the amount of miles i do in it, build up a few years no claims and upgrade.

[Sophie123]

I have a furio that i got when i was 18, much cheaper to insure than a vtr still got a bit of poke in it, and mine is also tarted up a little bit so only the biggest saxo enthusiast can tell its not a vtr from just looking at it.
Its kept me happy for 2 years and now im tryin to get rid for an upgrade lol.

[Asaxo]

Thanks for all your comments.
I might just stick to the 1.1, it gets me from A - B.
It just doesn't pull out from junctions very well!
Or, I might invest in a Furio.

Any differences between the mk1 and mk2 1.4?
Cheers

Get a 1.4 Westcoast or a 1.4 Furio, depends if you prefer the Mark1 saxo or the Mark2?

Hmm, probally the mk2 tbh, looks more "modern" if you know what I mean?

I have a mk1 atm, they still look nice but quite boy-racer looking, and you know it can't be any newer then 1999..
