Anyone else feel a bit mift about having a 1.1?

[Bladen]

I wish so badly I could get a vtr :homme:

I'd sell up and get a furio but the standard interior is horrible and im pretty sure 99% of them have been ragged within an inch of their lives by previous owners. I have a decent flat arch but it would be amazing to have the speed and looks of a vt. I dont want to spend too much money on a 1.1......because well, my lawnmowers got more power but I don want it look good.

whine over

[Steve_90]

why cant u get a vtr?
u could say the same for all saxos about being ragged, u just gotta take that chance when u buy one.

[Roj]

1.1 is a good place to start for me. i would have gone 1.4 but couldnt find one around me. will hopefully go for a vtr when im 18 and *touches wood* have a years no claims

[martin_88]

Just style it nicely mate, speed means nothing really unless your gonna prep it for trak

Same goes to every saxo bar the diesel tbh, your always gonna get ones that have been looked after and are completely std though mate.

In fairness, I started off with a Furio, and Im glad I did but now Ive become attached to it so im gonna drop a VTS lump in it rather than just buy a VTS. Where as youve started with a 1-1 and know your gonna move on, so if you end up buying an S it will be easy for ya

[Danr]

I wouldn't say Furio Al's furio or Jungle Jim's westcoast were ragged. Do some research and you'll find a good one :)

[Steve_90]

how old are u?

[Saxo_theedge]

aye when i had a 1.1 as soon as i got it i was thinking about gti's etc lol. just sit it out, theres nowt you can do. got the rest of your life to drive fast (fast'ish) cars:y:

yeah i spose. im quite lucky with mine. two of the owners were young girls and the other owner was one of the girls dads. My mates saxo's are in much worse condition tbh. Mine runs great and the only problem ive had is a failed rear light. guess im just greedy. every now an dthen i get this urge to buy a furio or vtr and just be happy. Ive got uni next year so will probably say goodbye to having a car for 3 years :(

[Ashleyp]

stop crying and buy a a saxo with a VT* kit then

Also, theres a dif between driving a car hard, and ragging it. If the bloke lets it get warm, and services it properly its gonna be in better shape than a bloke who drives it well but misses out servicing intervals

[Bladen]

how old are u?

17

lol. My insurance is already stupid. cant really afford anymore. so i guess that means no VT or furio. still kinda miffed at having a slow 1.1 though. My mate came out in his MG ZR the other day. dayum I was jealous lol.

UWE mate. I use my car to get to lessons aswell, its only a mile away but the bus services at unis are seriously wank.

Im a delivery driver for Dominos as my Job, so basically i get petrol money to fund me having the car up here, and then my actual pay is my food and beer money. And I get cheap pizza, which for a student is pretty mint lol

[Bladen]

with pass plus and the fact that ive already had 3 months insurance it works out to me paying like 1700 till august next year. still expensive.

[Bladen]

they have a rating on how safe your postcode is. A being the best. im sure you knew that and i just used the wrong term or something. :homme:

[Mardgee]

mines 700 quid fully comp on a vtr was 689 on a 1.1 and 1670 on a vts at 18.

Does your car not hate you for driving everywhere so much or?

[lemon191]

i got a online quote from adrian flux for 1.3k tpft on a full licence and thats the cheapst i found well gutted lol

[Bladen]

yeah, seems ridiculous. I dont know whats gone wrong here lol. Is everybody in there own name right?

[Roj]

yep, i got offered 916, with quinn on a prov. god knows how safe my postcode is but its probably pretty safe.

[Ben_L]

End of the day, the maximum maxiumum speed limit on a road in the UK is 70mph. Most roads are to congested to do over 50 around here tbh.

I had my 1.1 till I was 20 and it was a really good little car. Cheap to run, cheap to tax and insure. Parts were cheap as chips and it was easy to maintain. Keep the 1.1 for a couple of years to earn your NCB then upgrade to a bigger car.


my vtr is £700 fully comp in my own name...

I sometimes wish I could have the power of a VTR too.

I sometimes wish I could have the power of a VTR too.

You'd rather half have the power and half the chance of surviving in a crash, you're insane Karl!

To answer the threads question... No I am not miffed about having a 1.1, it was my decision to buy the car and it does everything I want, it looks good-handles well-is nippy enough-is good on fuel-has not caused any problems, and continues to make me smile.

If you want a vtr then save up simple :y:

[Karl]

...it was a joke.
:)

I think you nailed it anyways shooorn,
theyre a great first time buyers car.
cheap to fix and run, do their job of running you A to B.

[shooorn94]

...it was a joke.

I know :)

As was my statement ;)

[Bladen]

Got pwned by a VTR last night :( some chavs came along side me and put their foot down, I decided to play along a bit and got owned lol. broke my heart :(:D. Mind you i was 4 up lol. Still, it made me want a VT so bad :D ;)

pedal to the metal driving is pretty fun in a 1.1 and if its too sluggish wack sum breather mods, lowered suspension and back box on it and hit the back roads u can have a gr8 laugh.

mines standard but on the back roads it beats my mates 1.4 sax, saxos are built for sweet handling and thrashing along the back roads not top speed
