Choosing my next car!

[SaxSupra]

right so at the end of the year I will be getting a new car!

My ideas atm

1.6 EK/EG civic
Saxo VTS
106 GTI (My favorite so far) :hug:
1.3 Turbo Starlet
1.5 Lsi civic with the D15 engine?

Any thoughts?

[Cam]

Got insurance prices?

[SaxSupra]

Got insurance prices?

yeah mate, its roughly (they change about)

1.6 EK/EG civic - £1600/£1900
Saxo VTS - £1400/£1700
106 GTI - £1200/£1500
1.3 Turbo Starlet - £1400/£2000
1.5 Lsi civic with the D15 engine? - £1500/£1700

[Prickle]

Good luck finding either with A) with no rust and B) in good condition :homme:

[Jazz]

Test your favourites.

Choose from there. You'll find the car that is right for you :y:

[SaxSupra]

Im prepared for the worse haha but I have seen a few GTIs in very good condition

[Prickle]

Oh and insurance prices change all the time so that quote above, will be inaccurate..

[SaxSupra]

yeah i know but they have been going down not up, a few weeks/months ago all them prices were atleast £500 higher

[jones91]

it depends what you want from thre car really e.g acceleratianon/handling/mpg

[SaxSupra]

it depends what you want from thre car really e.g acceleratianon/handling/mpg

Tbh they all have good Acceleration and handling (not sure on the mpg) but imo out of all of them the 106 gti (120hp) is quicker of the line up to around 100 and then the 1.6 civic (160) will probably be abit quicker

but i also believe that the 106 has better mpg compared to the civic

[Prickle]

can get 40mpg out of the vts/gti.

some have had more like Jamie, Barry123(Ads) the mpg whore.

good mpg would be very helpful haha and i think civics are around 20-30mpg probably get better driving like a granny but i wouldnt be able to help myself trying to hit vtec haha

I originally wanted to get a VTS/VTR because i wanted to keep it saxo but after my mate owning a gti and after hearing about how much better the engine management is compared to a vts and being in his just makes me want one

after seeing countless scrappers.... & "minters"

i decided i wouldnt pay 2k for a fucking shed with different features when i could keep the shed i have and spend less then half of that on it..and end up with a more solid car

[Cam]

Same ecu and engine mate so your mates talking bollocks lol

Thats what I thought, but apparently gti's have better management :/

Well the quotes you have got are pointless... wait till then then decide lol. (not sounding harsh here mind).

I might get a good insurance quote on a evo today. few months down the line it might be LOL worthy. (fair point lads, dont rape me).

[blackie_2k5]

seen that...was willing to pay 2k for a sundance not long back

that one is NOT worth 2k!!

and tbh..less its a clean rallye..no 106 is

Yeah I completely agree mate but just tryna get a rough estimate of what im looking to pay, and I heard that insurance for boys is going down at end of the year aswell so im hoping the insurance will be around the figures, but yeah i agree with you, Im just dreaming atm :) just looking forward to more power than a 1.1

[Tommo87]

Ive owned a 1.6 EG for 2 years and I get roughly 35ish mpg with a bit of spirited driving but mostly town stuff and I've had 45+ a couple of times on long runs and driving like an eco warrior.

Wow thats decent! always thought civics would rinse petrol, one off my favorite cars and I will eventually own a EG/EK and experience Vtec kicking in yo! :D

That means you average 66mpg assuming petrol prices are 139.9p per litre. Which I find hard to believe :y:

[mattknight1984]

VTS dont do 60+ mpg, lol. Some utter bs on here sometimes. Fuel prices haven't changed that much since trax.

Being a saxo, you probably broke down and got towed for most of the journey... hence only spending £40 on fuel :homme:

*in shit mpg room

yerrr i broke down... it cost me in 40 fuel that way..

im not lying. end of. lol. fuck sake :homme:

you have A) no idea on my average speed and B) the fuel prices i paid

continue to troll and fail yourselfs.



cba to go on. rant on as you wish tbh lol.

[DeanAngell1234]

Starlet ;)

[Carl-h]

John stop being an arse for gods sake. I very much doubt you did 420 miles on £40. If you began your journey with 3/4 of a tank then fair enough you probably did only spend £40 that day. Doesn't mean you only used £40 worth.

Being a arse? who are you....?

actually laughing.

fuck sake saxp trolls on here..

i said i spent £40 for both ways.

lol. simple as that.

[Mr_X]

did you refuel £40 or did you use £40?

[Prickle]

did you refuel £40 or did you use £40?

Like i said. I used £40 i.e refuel £40. topped up going down £20, topped up going home £20. I dont get how people can possibly disagree but..

Im wrong though arnt i :homme:

few people said so.

you dont believe it either..?

i'll leave it as that because i cant make it any more simple. Just troll me hard xoxo :oops:

get yourself a nice indigo blue 106 gti, you cant go wrong

[dondan]

Boots are getting grown out of at a rapid rate with some people. Only Saxo I've seen getting north of 50mpg was a diesel, a VTS averaging 66mpg is astonishing- and I daresay misquoted as there's no way you can get that mpg.

Topping up with £40 to go somewhere is a different thing all together to only using £40 worth of petrol.

[dondan]

Even if the fuel was under £1.32 which is as cheap as its been in a long while that still works out at 60mpg+, which just doesn't happen in a 16v 1.6 engine with a 5 speed box.

*sigh

I filled up the tank first (im not including that cost)put 20 in driving down, 20 in going home lol... (in top ups).

now please tell me mister, why would i lie? nothing to gain.

60+ mpg i struggle to get that out my mk5 golf gt tdi

[Prickle]

60+ mpg i struggle to get that out my mk5 golf gt tdi

starting to wind me up this :homme:

when i came to top up i had under 3/4 tank (100miles in).

i put £20 in that put it behind the white block (near full tank). i got to trax just under a half a tank.

ive never once said i got 60mpg. it isnt accurate AT ALL

but i put in £40 (in top ups) all together.

[BAB]

ohh right sorry i must of mis read, just i seen 60+mpg and seen u said u wouldnt lie about fuel costs etc i put 2+2 together and got 17 sorry

[Prickle]

ohh right sorry i must of mis read, just i seen 60+mpg and seen u said u wouldnt lie about fuel costs etc i put 2+2 together and got 17 sorry

no worries.

I can really put it in any other way, ive repeated my self loads of times.. its pretty simple to take in.

[Mr_X]

minty I was trolling

:oops:

[Jay_]

The refuel was £40. John never said he ended with a full tank.

Started with a full tank,
Drove 420 odd miles
put £40 in.
NOT brimmed it with £40.

People are stupid.

Therefore he didn't get there and back off £40. He started with a full tank, used 420 miles worth then put £40 back in.. Bet the tank wasn't full after. ;)

that 40s worth got me there and back.. lol as said loads of times. I had just over 1/4 tank when i got home.

I never included the first fill up cost before i left for trax.

You put £40 in. That 40 probably didn't cover all of the fuel you used.


And why does anyone care? I just ate 2 slices of cake and a scone. Does someone fancy telling me I didn't?

[saxova]

Because you started with a full tank.

Then claim you did 420 miles with £40 of fuel.

If the tank was empty and you put £40 in.. and got there and back then yes you did 420 miles with £40.

Or if it was brimmed.. then you did the 420 miles then got home and brimmed it again/ Then yes you got there and back with £40.

If you believe you got 60mpg+ you are gullible.

[Prickle]

If you believe you got 60mpg+ you are gullible.

never worked out mpg because it was never going to be accurate.
