Tell me of a NA engine that doesn't like being revved?????

working at renault garage, i think the megane 225's are a cracking car.. with the mag card story about them packing up the meganes do have that problem, but yet we havent had any 225's come in with that problem or with any other mechanical engine problems, its just all service stuff like pads and discs after they have been nailed on a track and tyres.
me personally i would have one over a astra vxr anyday

insurance shold be ok. i'm 20 and mines 2200 with 2 years NCB but 2 non fault accidents declared.
i got a quote for 1200 when i'm 21 with 3 NCB and accidents declared so it shouldn't be too bad for him.

But an Astra VXR isn't an alternative in the 6k price range is it? So your comment is totally irrelevant.

I paid 4.5k plus my mums polo so in theory yes
