not to be a downer at all but,

but that huge insurance drop at your 21st is just a myth mate, doesnt happen lol

im paying more now then when i first bought my own car, was around £900 fully comp for my Si then, its just shy of £1200 3rd party now, same 3 points, but with more ncb on top...

its bull shit, but my renewal is due on the 11th, so ive got a quote from directline for £985 fully comp so thats a upside in a way

im not 100 fond of them, they're very square, now i obviously dont mind square cars as per the mk3

mk3.5 aint very easy to steal, the immobiliser changed all of that, yea they ddint change the doors, windows or locks, it is still breakable, and some know how to get in them but thats only your belongings goners

the Si 16v used to be a group 8 (dunno what the new system rates it as)

which is very cheap for a car with sport in its title

Yeah those crx are retro Jap and a few are pushing 170+ and the vtec pull is soo addictive

The new car arguemnt does stand.

Fiesta si 1.6 group 17
C2 VTS 1.6 group 15

Now as much as we can argue about many thinks we all have to agree the C2 VTS mashes the 1.6 Si on every front specs wise.

The insurance group plays a big part when you live in Oldhamistan hence one of the main reasons I got the C2.

And the arosa is grp 11 and quicker than the 1.6 si

now percy im sure you have a grudge against a company of sorts

maybe asda, tescos? birdseye, ikea or maybe lidl, anything

i dont like Pugeot, Citreon or renault , or vauxhall for that matter

Nope, open minded and logical.

Loyalty to any one company is limiting you options with no good reason.

can we stop this once and for all please percy, we all know your "logical and decisive" and we all know im a ford fan who doesnt currently have a reason to buy another make, and when did i ever say i wouldnt? i just said the three above id never touch as i dont like them


lets get this thread back on track before i look a bigger toon

It wasn't an form of attack on you, just giving my own reasons.

I made a very valid point in line with the thread about newer car insurance groups
