First Car?

I've got a 1.3 polo 8v, its quick and good on petrol. I got it for £750, M reg 73k Miles.

Get a Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi LX (2002-date)

-Torquey diesel engine
-Cheap insurance
-A/C
-Heated front windscreen

Or go for the Zetec model and you'll get body coloured bumpers, front foglights and 15" alloy wheels but you'll lose out on the A/C and the heated windscreen unless you can find one with those fitted optional.

In the States, the size of the engine has nothing to do with the price of the policy. My mom thought her insurance would go down when she switched from the 2002 BMW 745i, to the 2006 Lexus GS300 her insurance went up! She was shocked because it was going from a V8 to a V6! The insurance companys explaniation was "the car is a sportyer model, and it's an all-wheel drive".

Over here the insurance company basicly pulls a number out of their *** and makes up some phony excuse why.

lucky for you over there, it dramatically changes the price over here. I could afford an Evo V but the insurance would have been £3k provisional on my parent's policy. I was lucky enough to get a Golf 1.9 GT TDI for £1500. (was around £800 provisional)

My first car was a Mazda, soon chaning for a Camaro SS.

Mazdas are very nice cars, the fuel last's a week for me (going from home to school and back, also I went out on fridays)

So.. last desition you have it.

GL with it.

I'd reccomend a Fiesta, obviously because I drive one, to be honest I'd stay away from Corsa's as the steering just doesn't cut it compared to competitors, go for a 1.25 or 1.4TDCi Fez.
