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

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