ok fed up of the corsa, always breaking constant money pit,
looking for something reliable and economical ;S i know its mad but still
budget of around 2500, top limit being 3k
21 this year, had my license for 2 years and 2 years no claims with 0 convictions so insurance is not too bad, nothing crazy haha
i really duno what i fancy, not too fussed about wat it is, just dont want a saxo or a 106, and no fiats :L
hit me with some ideas?
oooh by the way was looking at corsa c exclusives, for that kinda money could get one, leather seats etc

I doubt you'll find an exclusiv for £3k.
Something like my Ibiza would be good, similar running costs to a Corsa (similar MPG, Tax, Slightly more on insurance, 10k servcing) plus they are 10 times more reliable.

Im in your position mate, well, 20 with 2 years no claims but 21 with 3 in a month. As it stands my insurance will be 1100 on a cup which is a group higher i believe than a standard 172. The cup is a group 16.
