Hi guys and gals, im 20 in 4 weeks (yey!) and currently have a Corsa B SRi 8v. My insurance is due, so ive got a whole years worth of not claiming under my seatbelt. I want something thats quicker, looks the part, and wont kill me on insurance. My renewal is 500 tff on the SRi. Wat do u guys in the know suggest? Oh, and ive got around 3500 including insurance.
Cheers in advance!

Yeah, i went out for a spin in a 1.4 Dynamique or summing. Its wasnt right fast, but it had those fancy xenon lights! Im thinkin of a GSI, are those better than the newer 'Sport'? Also was looking at Saxo VTR/S's. I can hear the boos already!

Really dont wanna keep it, its looking tired, and need it to sell for money, not scrap! Going back to my q, are GSi's gaster than the later 1.6 Sports?
