new here, but not old enough to drive a saxo - Saxperience

saxofan3 · 27th August 2008, 20:12

hi i'm new here, i got into saxos after reading an article about the vtr in a couple of car magazines, and i find that the car has a lot of potenital for modding it. I was wondering what type of saxo to get when i'm old enough to drive (im 15 now) so it would give me a lot of time to save for one.

Hiya welcome to the site, I started with a 1.1 as its far cheaper on the insurance when you first start driving. VTR and VTS's are very nice but will be more expensive on insurance. Maybe go for a westcoast 1.4 as this is in between but has same bodykit as the vtr.

Ive got a 1.4 westcoast mate, theyre pretty good, i got killed on insurance though becouse of my area!

Heya and welcome

Id say stick with something small like a 1.1 first, saves on insurance

saxofan3 · 27th August 2008, 20:49

im not in a rough area because i live in the countryside, so my insurance may be cheap.
