thers a few about to choose what you want, i only said r5 gt because there cheap and fast plus u will have loads of dosh left if anything went wrong


if you want something rare and old skool a mazda 323 4wd turbo

andyh4324

what are they like?

shane

Gti6's are good everyday cars. power steering aircon etc half leather and 6 speed box with 167bhp standard! get a decent one for 2.5k so soem dollar left too!

mazda 323 turbo cool car

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

but tune them up oh god they shift lol



end of the day it all depends on what you want

thers a lot out there for that sot of money

andyh4324

well im only a lad!lol (19) so insurance is still a bit of a prob.
would that make anyone give any diff suggestions?

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

yes loads lol

nothing turbod unless you can afford to spend stupid amounts on insurance

andyh4324

right so what does that leave me with then?

petermintrst

a vts, but then your 19 so may be expensive.

put it this way, if u went for a vts you would have one by the end of the week, try finding a good r5 or mazda 323, would take a long time and youd get bored looking

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

even a rst you may be able to insure

i know when i was 19 i had one

i paid 1300 tpft on it though but always wanted one so wasa willing to pay the insurance

i bought my first cosy at 21 after but insurance for that was 2200 tpft

andyh4324

fair enough. da insurace aint 2 bad coz il sell me ka to cover it!
is there anythin else like a vts? i like em but quite a few about.

COSSIE CAL

get a frst!you can get a mint one for about £2.5k.ive had a 323 gtx turbo and it was a normal,boring piece of ricer shit.i owned it for 5days and got bored,bought it for 3k sold it for 3.5k! reliable but really plain.i would either get:

1.4-1.8:
punto gt turbo--cheap yet really unreliable and pricey with parts£800-£3000
reno 5 gtt--really the same as above but engine can be a bugger to have£800-£2500
uno turbo mk2--same as punto but most are rotten(find a goodun an buy!£200-£2000
fiesta rs turbo --reliable if got 150/180bhp,parts are cheap and easy to get but can be rotten cars£800-£4000
escort rs turbo s2 --same but like the fez it can rust quite bad,look around for a good one,expect to pay around £800 to £5000!
etc.

1.8-2.0+
pulsar gtir--really reliable,interior is shite ,vryvry fast!,cheap parts£2300-£8000
escort rs2000 --fast,4x4 models are slower than 2wd,early ones can rust but can catch up with rst's £800-£3500
sapphire cossie ive had one for £2500but 2kmiles later needed a turbo,reliable if looked after,rapid cars at stage 1-3+,early 2wd's are better!!£2500-£12000,really good one at £3.8
gti-6--6speed,2.0 16v 167bhp,half leather really quite reliable,but peugeot name £1800-£4800
etc.

andyh4324

COSSIE CAL

andyh4324

cheers anyway sounds like a nice car!!

COSSIE CAL

i would personally get a frst but if i were you get a 106 gti.

James

i'd save up until your 21 and buy something genuinely quick.

phil4x4saph

I would be looking for a Clio 16v or a mint 205Gti , maybe a 306 Xsi or Gti

But there is loads of things to choose from.

And would you mind typing in english please. all that "sumfin wot luk gud anyfin woteva" crap just pisses people off!
