I will be getting my license back in the next few weeks after my ban and im looking to get a new car. I had a Mini Cooper S and an Ibiza FR before i was banned, but i have now left my job and am going back to college in August so wont be getting a car on finance. Ill be looking to spend about £2500 and have considered these 4 cars as possibles. Dont worry, i have checked insurance and its not as bad as youd think!

Fiesta Zetec S:



Corsa Sport 1.6:



Punto GT Turbo:



106 GTi:

Lad from my work is selling a blue 106 git lowered ect nice little car

P_is_for_Paul

Read my first post!

PT

Pug 106 if any.

Dub604

I just read it All this time lol..... Ive always liked the punto GT personally.

PT

Mate used to have one, nice looking imo and pretty nippy. But it feels like your sitting on top of the car rather than in it

106 gets my vote, however if you can't put up with the flimsiness of it, get the z-s!

106 are quick cars when modded

defo not the punto.out of them id say the 106 or a civic type reven tho its not there!

Adam.

Clio 1.8 16v, quicker then all those........... cheaper money....GREAT fun

Robs Frst

106 gti
Had one was very impressed with the handling only problem felt to small.
Quick car when modded, comes with leathers. Here mine I sold.

Cant get a type r for £2500 stevie, unless you wanna sell me yours for that?

A punto was the worst car ive EVER driven in my 8 years of driving, ok it wasnt a GT but same shape, was awful in every way, would never buy a fiat.

So out of those 3, the 106 would be quicker than the corsa and zetec s, and handle better, so its a no brainer for me

P_is_for_Paul

Wow, check this Zetec S out:

adam151082

woooow it invisible, fooking amazing bud

Rich_bloor

dont get a 106 !!! its just a saxo underneith !!! and if you MOD it, it'll just look like a saxo !!!

Zetec S!

stevenebm

ooral

160Gti for my recommendation as well, I used to have one myself......
Great car!!!

just whatever you do, DONT get a corsa!!!!

Coldo

What happened to a cossie or an FRS!?

I would probably go for the Zetec S out of the options. Although the 106's are decent cars too.

Seen a silver 106 for sale through in Rosyth, next to the roundabout heading onto the m90.
Not sure if it was a gti or a Quicksilver but was around £1250-£1650, wasnt quite sure.

Psycho Warren

iTrader: (5)

probably a quicksilver with GTI badges as most of them are GTI badges alone add 20 bhp

Rich_bloor

he's just come off a ban coldo, insurance on a cossy or frs will cost as much as a house !!!

rob060977

i would go for the 106 gti

twoblacklines

106 gti, only issue i know is the pedals are too close together for my liking.

ScORTED

ZS - better car all round than any of the other three

106 gti followed by corsa by punto

ste45

106 or zetec s fella

leigh-k18

only problem with 106 gtis is there is just nuthink to then my mate bumped his and was not even fast into back of his g/f (haha long story) but wings bumper bonnet slam panal and rad were all fucked after a 10mph crash r good little cars but to common and normly chaved lol

106 is alot better car mate and alot faster,i would get a nice s2 better than all of them

Oranoco

1. 106 if you can cope with the 17 year old Max Power knobber image, great little cars

2. Zetec S, better image (even though ZS owners have the anoying habbit of bouncing their cars of the rev limiter whilst stationary at car shows. Might be me but I just don't get it.

No 3 and 4 as I don't class the Punto or Corsa as cars they are the drippy snotty nose of the automotive world

Out of the 4 got to be the 106

But sooooo many better cars out there for £2500.

Why not get a volvo estate like on top gear

nickywarwick

you could get a ph1 clio 172 or an early ph2 172 for £2500 . that be my choice, quicker than all your choices too.

Alps Pacino

Ye my mate used to have 1 and it used to feel so top heavy and as if it was going to tip over but i think it was probably cause you felt so high up in the car, weird feeling for a sporty car imo.

My choice would be a crx vtec for your budget, faster than all the above more reliable and very economical but its down to taste i suppose

Alps Pacino

Are they though?

ScORTED

have you lot missed the fact he's set a budget and is just coming off a ban so insurance on anything sportier will be an issue

P_is_for_Paul

I was thinking that lol.

Fiesta is group 8, Corsa is group 10, Pug is group 13 and punto is group 14.

And a clio sport is group 18. Think my insurance company would book a holiday for the full office if i tried to insure that now

vroomtshh

Cinquecento is group 1

P_is_for_Paul

Must be about the same group as your Charade
