Ideas for a new car!

[sparky771]

I'm looking for a new car to get be to work and back, i do about 90miles a day, 40 there and 40 back plus a little bit during the day lunch etc. and im finding the saxo a little too uncomfy for this journey each day.

I'm only 18 and i live in a high risk insurance area (hence the furio), I'm looking for a tdi ideally for better mpg gettin about 39mpg from the furio.

I would settle for something that is better built and comfier than the saxo, may keep the saxo if i can afford both cars cause i do like it but not to travel on the motorways....... :panic:

I have 0 ncb and my budget is unknown atm :( id say, about £3k so not enough for a golf :(

[James106]

Pah! can easily get a golf around Yreg for 2k!

[James106]

What about just a 1 litre polo ?

[Graeme-P]

Haa Won't insure one of them!

Mate got a qoute on his dads, 3k was the cheapest!

What about ?Ibiza, Punto Fiat Bravo are a nice comfy ride?

save your money, get 1 years no claims and you'll have alot of better cars to choose from.
Dont spend in haste

[sparky771]

I just done a few quotes on the GtTDI and the cheapest was £3400 :panic: gonna look into the ibiza side of things but i only like the FR range ones and they got one hell of an ugly arse!! i prefer the leons ;)

Yeah as im lookin into it more and more i may just stick with the saxo atm but im only a named driver atm so i dont get ncb :( may wait till im 19, in october and look into it then

Cheers for the ideas though guys my eyes are more open now :)

diesel golf, diesel seat leon

[Lewis]

Im looking into the 2001 Seat Leon 1.9tdi as a second car. <£2000 to buy, 65mpg, ins gpe 6 and cupra body kits widely available id reccomend one :y:

[ska_wars]

Mk4 GOLF!!!!

My GT does 50-60 all day long and is on 159k still going strong :)

200k isn't uncommon for them.

but being VAG you'll pay a premium on insurance :/

[ska_wars]

50-60mpg that is :D
