A Corsa would be a nice forst car
Yeah, Corsa, Golf.. Somthing small but good really.
Yeh thats what i'm getting. The new Corsa model, black 1.2 SXi.
Thanks :)
KA Or a corsa both small engines and cheep to insure
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
Budget?
Corsa.

Yeh I know and it tends to go up if you have a car that has an engine bigger than 1.4 .Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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 :)
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?Quote:

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

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.
VOLKSWAGEN RABBIT <3
peugeot 207, or the new 107 (they're fit)
A Ferarri enzo?
A Metro <3
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...
I agree with Gomme.
Hippy bus.
