I know your probably thinking not another one but i hope some one can give me a hand.

Basically im 19 now and have 1 years ncb. Got 4k to spend on a new car but i can also get a loan towards the car which i can afford which is probably 2k-3k more with the loan so 7k maximum to spend.

Been looking at civic type R's and astras but the civic was group 17! and the astra 15! which i just can't justify.

Car is only used at weekends really so running costs arn't really a problem, but its got to be as new as possible, look nice and not too slow. Any ideas!?

Ta.

They go very well, economical too

If you're wanting to move away from Corsa's then I'd reccomend a Mk4 Golf GTi, or a polo GTi.

What type R are you thinking of getting?

^^ That was the type of civic i was looking for, pre-facelift.

Really annoyed at the insurance being group 17, because i can afford the car, they look great but i just can't insure it i don't think.

I like the idea of owning a VW very much, will take a closer look now.

Im moving down from a c20xe corsa because of the running costs, insurance and so on.

But don't want to loose the power, but i guess you can't have everything at 19.

^^

Honda Civic 1.6 VTEC Sport 3dr

Hatchback - Front (FWD) - 5 Speed Manual Gearbox - 1590 cc - Max Speed:116 mph - 110 bhp - Unleaded Petrol - Insurance Group:6

That look quality! 1.6 vtec and group 6 insurance! Just need to find one to buy!

110 bhp aint to bad either considering.

Yeah my mate has one of these and he is 19 too, getting him to pay stupid amount on the insurance and only thing its a bit old now. Think i might go for the new one. Can't be that bad, will take one out for a test drive soon.
