Your best bet is to check your local ad mags, autotrader.co.uk should help you a little as well, but 3dr's are a little bit rare at the moment, due to it being january and not many people selling at the mo. But you will get a good idea of the prices you'll be looking at when you dive in and buy. ebay and exchange and mart may have some for sale as well. Welcome to the site by the way dude. |

welcome! my tip: buy the best you can, a standard one with low amount of rust is better in the long run than a modded one with dirty arches and knackered sills. 
ive had a 1.4 and a 1.6, the difference is unbelievable, 15bhp more, different gear ratios (better in my opinion) better suspension and superior seats. the 1.4 was cheaper on insurance mind. if you do see a nice 1.4, go for it, you can always sell and change when you had enough. |

Thanks for all the info everyone, i think im definately going to go for the 1.6, and dont worry im not going to put some ridiculous bodykit on it, i love the standard si aswell just already subltey modified as standard. All i want to do is a nice set of wheels, lower it, new exhaust and new air filter and sound system. Then after a few years when my insurance premiums go down, stick a 2ltr in it |

ive just bought a 1.6 si for my first car, ive got pass plus and 1 years driving experience, but no years no claims. i found for me that bell (part of admrial) was the cheapist cos they specialise in people with NCB. my quote was only £1370, which is the cheapist by far ive had. so either give em a ring on 0800140180 or try there online quoting service, website; http://www.bell.co.uk |
