I'd love to mate but my insurance was £1500 on the SRi. I've got 3 injuries claims (Car i crashd into), a written of car (mine) and a claim on another car(one i crashed into) plus im 18 with no NCB.

I'll leave an XE for a couple years

Isn't the 1.5 diesel a Turbo anyway? I thought it was only the 1.7 Isuzu engine that was N/A?
