i think he means what type of saxo you plum

i have a vtr and this is my first car

it depends on how much insurance you can afford

[hellonpluto]

How old are you?

I'd recommend a 1.1 as when i looked through some of the insurance posts some people are paying over £1000 at 17 for a 1.1

After a couple of bump free years get a 1.4/VTR.

Then after a few more years (4 years NCB) get the BMW 5 series!

[CampDavid]

1.5d, if you have to have a slow one, make it a cheap one to run

[Tupps]

Saxo Furio....

A mate had one when he passed....17 year old with passplus he paid £700 TPFT

[Leo]

Saxo 1.1x are good, can buy mine if you want

[LittleDude101]

i would go for a west coast or furio

[Danr]

I had a 1.1 desire recentley and it was a good car! Cheap insurance and running costs too.

[Danes_SaxoVTR]

go for the vtr if you can aford it mate, if not then the furio or west coast!

[rey]

yeah i was thinkin westcoast or furio coz im gonna do pass plus soon as i can after me test

[sshaxx]

ive done passplus mate and it hasnt made any difference on my insurance as the cheapest one i could find doesnt accept it.

get a westcoast or a furio

[Barry123]

I couldn't bare to spend more than £1000 on insurance.
buy the crappiest car you get, insure 3rd party, build up those NCB's.
1.5D, engine will last forever if you look after it. but wont do you much good in the saxp street cred ratings
1.0/1.1 cheaper on insurance (strangely) than 1.5D and common. so cheapy cheapy to buy a reasonable condition beasty.
1.4 - if you must
1.6 8v - if you must and you have lots of dollar
1.6 16v - if you're on crack.

[Barry123]

obviously Leckie you sexy beast :P :P

I've seen sexier yeti's...

[liamk15]

I've seen sexier yeti's...

[saxodan]

1.6 8v - if you must and you have lots of dollar
1.6 16v - if you're on crack.

Like that haha

[furiomike]

try and get a furio or westcoast if you can. i was able to get a furio fairly cheap on TPFT, maybe because im old (21)

[Ry_B]

lol my insurance is £700 fully comp n ive not even passed yet! :P


That's why then........

[Barry123]

WESTCOAST!! lol my insurance is £700 fully comp n ive not even passed yet! :P

cant be on you own insurance though??? can it???:oops:

[furiomike]

WESTCOAST!! lol my insurance is £700 fully comp n ive not even passed yet! :P

dont expect it to get much cheaper (if it all) when you pass. good deal anyway :P

[Davekelz]

Mines only £800 TPFT on a VTR and I'm only 18. Just depends on how much you want to spend really.

Plus I'm on my own insurance ;)

[GTI_Lee]

im 17 and i got a VTR! i went on my dads insurance and it costs me £1100. not a bad price really!

[Jimbo]

When you pass, it goes up.

[speedyvtr]

i would go for the furio as it wont be to demanding on the old wallet.

[platty]
