[Wizzdom]

Any ideas? I have some ideas but would like to know what you guys think ;o

[DMB-Hosting]

A Corsa would be a nice forst car

[WHANGFACE]

Yeah, Corsa, Golf.. Somthing small but good really.

[NekkLe]

Yeh thats what i'm getting. The new Corsa model, black 1.2 SXi.

[Wizzdom]

Thanks :)

[luke-p]

KA Or a corsa both small engines and cheep to insure

[Smiddy]

Depends on how tall / what figure you are Chris :p You wouldn't want to end up in a Corsa and realise you can't actually sit in it...

But yeah the 1's above are the most obvious choices! :p

[Callum.]

Budget?

[Pu$$y]

Corsa.

[luke-p]

True but cheep to run and insure

[Callum.]

£1000?

[NekkLe]

I've looked into this long before and a decent 2nd hand corsa will be from £2,500- £3,500 and then you have to pay your insurance which if not on a parents insurance could cost you a heavy £1200 on a 1.2 engine.

Yeh I know and it tends to go up if you have a car that has an engine bigger than 1.4 .
Its not necceserely because of age, its because your a new driver on the road and your more than likely going to take a few bumps in the early stages. And the amount of idiots that shouldn't even pass there tests make tax and insurance cost more.

Thinking about a ford focus

[NekkLe]

Thinking about a ford focus

Focuses are a good car, but you need to look for one that has a small engine, i'm not sure if they tend to make a small engine as you would find in say a fiesta or corsa.

So are you doing your driving lessons then?

[Wizzdom]

Yes soon :D

[brandon]

Nissan Micra

[Corq]

Yeah, Corsas are normally good little cars. How about a Renault Clio or VW Polo?

[chilloutrich]

go for something cheap to learn on, keep it for 3 months after passing incase u have a crash - not as much loss. then when ur more experienced go for a better car :)

Some of my family said that but i dont want a cheap looking car, it would ruin my reputation :p

[jam666]

i know the car im getting when i pass my driving test... a citroen c2 1.6 vts i think they look cool and not cheap :) they cost around £10,000 for a top of the range or you could get a 1.1 bottom of the range for £6,500 hope this info helps :)

oh and something else, id choose from the following

*citroen c2
*ford fiesta
*ford ka
*renault clio
*fiat punto
*vw fox/polo/golf

and realy any small car :)

[Adam$]

I wouldn't get a Ford Ka. I would get something like a Golf, although it really depends on your budget on both the car and on insurance.

How will you afford that? remember the cost of running the car and its a sports edition, the insurance will top £2000. Why get an expensive car when theres the possibility of smashing it up?

I was thinking between a Golf or Focus and i think i decided on a focus.

actuly its in one of the lowest insurance groups :)

[NekkLe]

For a new driver, going on insurance by yourself will cost you aleast £1200 on a small car, but you want a brand spanking new car which is a sports edition, your insurance will be very high. Do you have a job to pay for the car itself?

[ClaretVillan]

New Mini

[Wizzdom]

trying to get a 1.4 or 1.6

[NekkLe]

trying to get a 1.4 or 1.6

The insurance starts to get higher once you go over a 1.4 .

[MBond]

get a Smartcar, they are cheap seocnd hand with only about 2000 miles on them, thats what my sis got.

[:Hazel]

I've a 1.1 ford fiesta, not exactly the best but its cheap to insure and a small car so easier to park in.

[Metric.]

VOLKSWAGEN RABBIT <3

[Ryan+Joe]

peugeot 207, or the new 107 (they're fit)

[Diablo10]

A Ferarri enzo?

[Jamie!]

A Metro <3

[GommeInc]

Ford Fiesta, easy to drive and cheap to insure. Corsa's are crap compared apparently. I have 2 friends with Corsa's and they don't exactly love them...

[You]

I agree with Gomme.

[Stab]

Hippy bus.

[Amorx]

Those Volkswagon bus things! I want one to do up :']

[brapbrap]

Dont get brand new obviously, just get a AutoTrader and look for a bargain.

[GommeInc]

I've just read some of the comments before my last one. The insurance for my 1.4 Ford Fiesta on one deal was climbing up towards &#163;4,000. That was FordInsure. I cost &#163;1,200 to insure my car with Tescos, which is where I went in the end. A Sports Edition of car will surely make it way over &#163;2,000 to &#163;4,000, maybe more.

[Ashhizzle]

Why not a ferrari.. i'd love a ferarri as first car pls <3

[Isoelectric]

Ferarri's cost alot of money mate.

Anyway, a Citroën C2 is good, maybe the C1, though that is ugly as hell.

Toyota Jazz? They're pretty cheap second hand, or a Toyota Aygo, though they are ugly aswell x]

Renault Clio is a good choice, compact and comfortable ;D

Oo or a Kia Picanto, they're cheap, though Kia aren't a good make of car.

[DMB-Hosting]

Most insurance companies ive called won't let me insure anything over a 1.4l they said its illegal to have anything over 1.4 unless you are 21. That was quoted from quotemehappy

Im going to buy a corsa or something and mod it :8
or a Vauxhall Tigra
