[shieldy]

hey guys decided that now my claim has come in i have around £4000 to spend on a car, decided to give my girl, the clio i only had it or a few months but now i got my ncb i want a faster car anyone have any ideas of car, the cars i been looking at is the

astra mk 4 1.6 sxi
mg zr 1.4
the ford focus

i cant decide on what to get just wondering could any gets give me some insite as to what car, thanks

UPDATE just got an insurance quote for the 1.8 sri its £1300 compared with the 1.6 sxi for £1190

mk1 clio. 1.8 16v ;)

astra = slow
mg zr= head gasket failure
focus= depends what sized engine? if its an rs then hell yes!

[shieldy]

btw i am only 19 with 1 year ncb so a rs my insurance would probs tell me to fuck off lol and its the focus 1.6 ztec

[gouldy87]

would not be fast mate tbh, heavy cars and under powered for there size tbh. i had my vts at 20 mate so it can be done. i renewed my insurance when i had just gone 21 and it was £704 fully comp. if your last car was a 1.2 have you thought about a vtr?
good little cars faster than your clio and only a group 7 insurance?

[Sparco_Tom]

vtr or vts for good handling, punchy power, and the vtr cheap insurance

[EssexHoney]

VTR maybe? Would probably best suit your age and experience, not too fast but not too slow.

[shieldy]

thought about it but to many vtr/vts around my area so wanted to get away from them, lol and when my saxo was wrote off by sum tit, i kinda saw how flimzy they was,... lol

[saxowebby]

audi a3 1.8t

[gouldy87]

astra 1.8 sri mk4? group 9 insurance so a little bit dearer than a vtr and about as fast but very nice cars imo opinion and nice to drive with potential to mod etc?

[shieldy]

beginning to feel that the astra will be the best option, lol

[gouldy87]

get the mk 4 1.8 sri though not the 1.6 sxi as they are really slow

[jdizzy]

^^^^^ agreed!!! :y:

[PSPDan]

Maybe he's not overly worried about how fast they are?

I'd say the astra even though the mk5 looks so much better. With three doors anyway.

[shieldy]

tbh i aint really fussed about speed intill i can get my skyline... lol need alot more years ncb at the moment lol, but i think the astra is going to be the best bet with money i have, thanks for the help guys

Mk 4 astras aren't bad, their chassis are pretty neat and they're low maintenance cars. Not a bad choice.

[shieldy]

yeh read quite a lot of reviews about these cars they seem to be good maybe get a test drive in one befor i pay for one lol,

[gouldy87]

they are nicw cars tbh mate, my uncle has the coupe bertone, one of my mates had one and another one of them has the gsi turbo. nice cars to drive tbf and that gsi doesnt half boogie! wish i had one tbh
