right.... im thinking of getting a new car, im just wanting something different, nice and nippy yet it doesnt have to be faster than my gti.... have just left my job too so dont have alot of money to play with... so selling my car and a td6 (roland drum kit) is all i have to play with... which i think my total is around 4000 -4500k ish if im lucky...
been looking at allsorts.... vtec, bmw 3 series.. also im 18 with 1yncb so nothing too high on insurance (paying 1400fc on the gti...)
has to be practical (well sorta)
ideas please... thanks!

depends if you want the goodies.... all in about 3900 i guess which is with the exhaust, mani, induction, dvd player, sub, etc etc... and only 35000 miles on 02 plate... i did get it for a steal and yes its cat d but with these mods or just standard for a 02 plate with such little miles they go for 4500 on piston heads...

What sort of miles does it do to a full tank and how much does the tank hold?
I'd have to run it as my main car for a while..

If you can check and let me know. Deffo intrested mate!
Just my 90 mile commute is the issue at the minute.. 307 would have to go - well going anyway. Not sure what i'm doing yet regarding the job and all these fuel increases.

Or maybe pre-facelift and stick the front bumper on if you can't afford a facelift one.
Or just keep the front bumper, up to you
