My friend who is 23 is paying over £1000 on a lightly modified M reg rover coupe

I'm 25 and I pay £360 on my st170, however I am a homeowner and its locked in the garage everynight and its under armed guard during the day, so that probably helps

lol i was looking at a rover coupe the 1.6 honda engined one, because of the tbar roof and that was coming up as £1200-£1300 i'm 22 but i'v only had a license for a year and 1YNCB to boot i'm 6'4" so the little cars i just can't fit in my feet usually cover all the pedals at once

the normal 2.0 focus is pretty cheap to insure, and maintain, and is nippy.
