I currently have a Corsa 1.6 Sport, my insurance is up for renewal in Feb 05, I'm considering selling it, should get around £3.5k for it give or take a few hundred quid. The thing is what could I get? Want something quicker, ok to insure.. but still reliable, not ancient and looks good?! Was thinking along the lines of Civic 1.6 VTi or CRX 1.6 VTi (2-seater convertible) !?!

I'll be 20 with 1 yrs NCB, 1 year and 5 months driving experience and 3 points (SP30 which dont normally matter these days )
