she said to me" ive got 6k for a first car", so i said what kinda car you after, and she said a nissan 1.4
(shes 18)
I was telling her that spending 6k on a first car would be mad, total waste of money especially as it would only be a 1.4
Told her to save all the money and buy a cheap corsa sport or somthing along those lines, ok there common but there common for a reason
Sorry just had to share the fact that someone was going to spend 6k on something nissan and 1.4

Insurance would be well under that easy
My sister in law got a quote for one from norwich union, she passed her test 2 days earlier and i think it was about £800 fully comp

i'd definately recommend a pug 306 d turbo as first car, i love mine! we paid £1600 for mine and my insurance is only £600 ish but that's 3rd party fire and theft.
Sod spendin 6k on a first car though! thats just barmy!! LOL
As much as i love my pug i'm glad it;s nothing special as i've hammered the hell out of it and i'm going to end up runnin it into the ground

All its got to be is a small euro hatchback. Think
Punto
Clio
106
Ka
Fiesta
Getz
C2 (if shes nuts)
Smart For2
Its got to be a nice colour and have a good radio. Then 60 Soft Toys to put all round the dashboard
Oh and a Dustpan and Brush in the boot to collect up the broken glass
