yeah why not.


reliable, and cheap to insure.
dont get me wrong. it aint gonna get ya places as quick as some things do. but whos first car did.

up to u how much u mod it. but remember ur alwas gonna want it to go quicker.

so dont waste to much on it anless u also plan a conversion.


only other problems is its always gonna be ur mums car and she will tell u to "be carefully in my baby"

"how could u stick that huge bumper on the front of my little (insert name of car here )"

"if u dont stop it i'll take MY car back"

Take the car as it is.... learn to drive, then move on to bigger and better things later as your experience and confidence is gained.

If you buy or put anything RS on it now you will never have any money for the rest of your life

Get it bought.
