Saxo VTR  Buy it for £600 easy and insurance is about the same as a 1.4 Si  100bhp or 75bhp? Choice is yours!

I could insure a mk4 fiesta 1.4 (faster than a 1.6 Si I'll have you know  as tested many times) OR a clio 16v for the same money when I passed. I picked the slower but more reliable of the 2. I wish I wasn't so closed minded when I bought my first real car, could of gone for so much more.

I had fun with a red top corsa in my fiesta. Was amusing as there was nothing between us, but in both case it was like 'WTF?' Pulled into a retail park and thought it was funny to find we both had 2.0 conversion but we both thought the other was a 1.2 corsa and 1.4/1.6 si so we were both shocked. But from a first car point of view those 1.2 12v engines give a good kick, there are basically 1.6's but with 3 cylinders. So better than your average small engine but really cheap to insure. |
