im thinking the same thing between those 2 cars aswell

starlet drinks petrol.. just thought id let you know as your driving quite far to work

[Ocego_VTR]

both cars will drink but i would go for a glanza 2bh, R5gtt can be really unreliable.

i was going to say that almost word forword....

glanza anyday... but if you are travelling a fair way to work maybe get something a lil less thirsty?

1.1 upto either of those cars is quote some step mate....

would you not rather take some middle ground? and have you looked at insurance?

[Ocego_VTR]

keep glanza off the turbo you should be able to manage 30mpg easily

[Recovery]

i love the glanza's only thing i dont like is the insurance group get a nice white one, ive been looking at these too

[Recovery]

Something like this.. just pure sexx

[Ocego_VTR]

apparently insurance groups on these are group 8 to group 16

[Recovery]

is that depending on model type?

[Ocego_VTR]

i dont know, just heard the insurance groups depend on which company you ring.

[Recovery]

Oh right, will have to shop around first then going to try an online based one first with my current insurers, see what they come up with..

[Ocego_VTR]

most likely say this car doesnt exist you need to phone them on imports

[devilsadvocate]

You will need to ring an insurance company that specialises in jap imports

When i was looking at getting a glanza, Adrian Flux wanted £1700 TPFT, i was 21 with a years no claims....most other insurance companies had never heard of it or refused to insure me.

[Recovery]

i just tried bell and that model wasnt there, so i guess would have to search around abit to get insured on one, i will be 21 soon with 3 years no claims

[Japman]

right then

unless you know what your talk about then please dont assume

starlets can depend on mpg

mine is/was around 200 bhp

drive it tidy and i was getting 36 mpg

if you think thats bad then there is sum thing majourly wrong

[moxy89]

well i intend to get one or the other in march as i get a bonus then leaving the company, also i will have 2 years no claims and be 19. I just really dont no if there worth 4500 for a p reg car, i know dont get me wrong there awesome motors but for another 2 grand get yourself a ST but see how the cash goes, Japman what shape starlet did you own

[notts106gti]

Glanza's are awesome cars

[Japman]

mine is a gt mate,still got it

curruntly awaiting full forge set up though

i agree with you in away abotu the cost,but lets me onhest,i wouldnt spend the extra 2k on an ST,they are shit

[moxy89]

AGREED, what insurance group is yours mate, i am really consdering getting your shape looks more aggresive and any trouble reliablity wise
