Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 Turbo 2002 + Insurance Quote

[wilksey]

Hi guys

Been posting a few threads over the past few weeks asking sax-p members what they thought of a few car's that im thinking of buying!!

Narrowed it down to a Ford Fiesta Zetec S due to them being cheap and alot more reliable than a saxo!!

Example A)

Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 Turbo

Im 19 (20 in July which is when ill be buying new car) with 2 years no claims and 2 and a half years driving...

The quote for the Fiesta is £900 third party for the year (cheapish!!)

and the Cupra

£1600 again third party.....

Im not one of these lads who likes football and im not very sporty so my passion is cars and willing to spend a fair bit on insurance...

Am I mad? Or is there anyone else out there that is willing to pay this much?

How much are people paying for there insurance and how much does it equall out to be per month?

Have about 1000 in my bank per month 250 - 300 out going not inc insurance

Or...

Is it pretty cheap for the performance im going to be getting and fair reliability?

A tuned Cupra will be giving out as near as makes no difference 200 + BHP

Do you like the car?

There is a member on here (exuse my ignorance as I dont know his name) that has one of these cars so I'd like some feedback on what its like to drive if possible)

Please help me out here guy's

:D

or shall I stick to the fiesta or an equally 1.6 hot hatch....

(The VTR needs to go as theres to many problems)

PLease discuss about the car and my insurance and if you think I should do other wise.......

:D

cupra all the way

do it

you wont regret it

EDIT: 1600 insurance isnt all that bad, my mate pays 3300 on a 206 gti 180 lol

What do you want the most?

If you can afford the insurance i'd get the cupra.
As youle get the fiesta and wish you had a bigger engine and got the cupra.

Wouldn't say Sport has a lot to do with it lol. Play loadsa sport and pay £1900 insurance ;)

Id say go for the Cupra mate, more reliable and got the looks too.

i've got leon cupra wouldnt swap it for much maybe a cupra R was remapped before i got it by Dubsport got a printout for 215bhp not bad over standard 180bhp never driven Ibiza but will probably go bit better than mine with been lighter. Insurance is great but i'm lot older 28 £410 for me and wife she just passed test no points 9year ncb
Cupra for me anyday mate

[chrisvtr1989]

i personally wouldnt pay over £1000 for insurance now(obviously when i 1st started i had no choice). but if your willing to pay i would definatly get the cupra!! i will be getting one next year when i get the 3years no claims

[Marshy]

The Cupra is a fantastic car, really good value for money and very well built, but don't expect it to be that rapid until you get it remapped

Mate of mine also has one and he's only just turned 19, his insurance is about £1000, I'm now 23 and my insurance is £600

This is mine -
