Its expensive.

Tax 175
Insurance 450
MOT 50

My Corsa writes itself off in running costs every third year.

Your bros car was made after 02, therefore his car falls under the new car tax rules which applys to emmisions and no engine sizes.

Try and find one with a sound engine though. The 1.0 12v engines are piss poor.

its noisy, uncomftable, has no heater or radio

thats why i have (had) a nice comfotable but slow car for everyday


Precisely.

My two cheeky cars sit around waiting for money while I drive to work in a comfy cheap commuter instead.
