Right, need to sell the GTi insurance costing too much and need something with better fuel econamy, plus im in debt which im finding hard to pay off!I was thinking of a VTR.. Although I didn't want to do this as I hate VTR's as they're so commen and gay BUT its half my insurance I'm paying now...
What you think? I'll only have around £1300 to spend as I'm looking for a place to live in the near future
What you recon? Need something that doesn't take all day to get to at least motorway speeds as I travel on it quite alot!
HELP!

1.2 16v SXi Corsa cheap insurance, tax, fuel etc and will cruise and 70mph nicely I would suggest a 12v but unless you're giving it some, it takes 10+ secs to get to 70.

you are joking right? 0-60 is about 16-17seconds, let alone 70
