New Car

[BBM]

Well now that ive got money again, im gonna get another car.

Im just looking for ideas now. Insurance is crazy cos im 18 with 0 NCB.

Saxo's are too dear to insure sadly :(

I was thinking of staying with retro dubs and getting a mk1 golf but also thought about a Mk4 Golf, Polo's, Lupo's?

Any other idea's?

I'd like something that looks nice slammed on some nice rims.

EDIT: BUDGET = £1500

pug 205
old mini
suzuki swift
honda civic del sol
mazda MX5

EDIT: proof that MX5's can look sweet with some mods

I like MX-5's a lot, again insurance is mental its finding one for under my £1500 quid budget thats hard

Get a 6n polo 1.0L so cheap insurance + to buy then give it the euro makeover. They look really ace.

[dougieph2]

[nicole_]

if insurance is too much on a saxo hes got no chance on an mx5/del sol lol
id probs go for the mk1 golf or maybe something a bit different like an old old bmw and slam it or something

1.0 SEAT Arosa

[haz_pro]

Friend has the 1.4 16v and it still feels really rapid for some reason, nice little car, if not a little bit of a girls car.

[BBM]

I was considering an EG Civic, but again i cannot insure one at all

[Gary-VTR]

Try get a quote on a CRX. It's cheaper for me to insure one than a VTR.

I found it quite the opposite, jap cars were more expensive than their european counterpart. an ej6 1.4 civic was the same price as vts for me. :n:

[BBM]

7 grand for a crx AHAHAHA no

[Gary-VTR]

Mental! It's £1300 for my mate @ 21, 0 NCB, 0 experience.

Aye it will be for a Civic, because they appeal more to young drivers, and are expensive in comparison to most hatchbacks.
Whereas CRXs only really appeal to enthusiasts, are 1989~, usually high mileage, so cost near nothing to write off.

[Ciarannn]

+1 on the seat arosa 1.0

it might not be fast but they look fecking sweeeet
either that or polo 6n , can be bought for pennies

[haz_pro]

Wouldnt get a 6n, they are pretty much all riddled with rust, including mine.

6n2 though, deffo, although a bit more money.

[BBM]

Ive emailed about a few 6N's ;)

[saxo-dude-16v]

[JoshB]

Getting an arosa up here is hard

Think the 1.4 16v is only a group 4 IIRC?

[BBM]

Aye it is, but again a 1.1 saxo's the same. Its cos of the amount round here run by young guys.

Long gone, aha ad was 2 months ago, was on PH too.

:(

Just have a look at all group 1 cars. Suffer it for a year and the insurance will come down, should you stay claim free.

(I used to have a Fiat 126 Bis!)

[jonezy]

polo gt? or a g40?
