Software Engineering, got the brains I might as well use them, certainly not doing anything good at Tesco Just needed time to figure out what I wanted. Never wanted to go to uni but with the way the country has gone there's not a great deal I can do at this age without experience/degree. Quite looking forward to it i've always studied computers so time to get into a specific field!

Yeah i've always wanted an imp blue. I really want another Si, but they are far and few. I will have better luck with a ZS at the mo.

Bournemouth not moving out, part time tesco, keep myself afloat.

Not sure, either I keep the Clio til July and test it for a year and sell, or I sell it Jan/Feb. I might keep it until summer as I have just spent 1k on it and i'd like to get some use from that

See how I feel in the new year really.

Just keep it, your askin for trouble changing cars.

Do you not like the car?

Doesn't have the character of the fiesta. It's not really my cuppa tea. Yeah it's powerful and I like the seats but thats about it. I can't afford to modify it so it looks half decent and the niggles it has annoy me, I'll be sure to get myself a decent looking ZS and not rush into it.

There's just so much money to be saved buying a smaller/cheaper to repair car its the sensible option for me. I mean if I get what I want and find a ZS at the price they are now i've immeditely got £600 in my pocket, I reckon it'll be more like £400 but stil on top of savings thats alot of money when your a student

On that front why not just by a sensible car for a couple of years, you know a 1.2 something.

wouldn't be able to stand it. Toooo slow. plus running costs are going to be minimal between the two, Also looks aren't any good for me, its the ZS shape, body kit, etc I love

_________________

Clio's are good fun but couldn't hack one as a daily - far too horrid interior, personally. Quite sturdy cars though from what I've seen.

Wouldn't get a zs. Would want better mpg and more reliability but its your choice. End of the day its not as important as your life choice of a career that WILL earn you good money if you stick at it. Within 10 years you should be able to charge 1k+vat a day if you freelance... Dabble in DB's as much as you can.

I just like my ZS's they're a nice car. I don't particularly need mpg just and there are zero cars out there in much budget I'd be honestly interested in buying. its all about what car will make me feel comfortably and I know I could keep I can keep a ZS for years so I won't have to worry about swapping and wasting money if it does need repairs. I'll get use out of it.m not sure I'm guaranteed reliability with any car in my budget either lol but I could buy one that's good to me :-) never know.

yeah I'm quite looking forward to it. I've got two years to decide what path to take and a year placement so going toelook into it l in detail over time. beats retail by a long bargain lol

Get a BMW...

*Awaits horrible response* lol

_________________

I agree, german is a good choice, a volkswagon would be worth checking out, some offer great mpg and performanceplus the all important reliabillity.

never owning a bmw. like I say nothing would excite me enough to want to keep it in my budget.

there is only one option lol and again all these cars I wouldnt know how to fix myself.

1.8 td zs rep

I want something thay I will be happy getting into, that looks good and is exciting to drive. as well as bring cheaper than the Clio. I don't know the first thing about fixing diesels lol so I'd have garage costs again if it needed work.

I've a lone way to go before I get a derv lol I did say I want a ZS a few pages ago It may ni t save me as much money as that polo but then again over four years without garage labour charges it might. plus I still want to be able to attend ford fair etc so it would be good to get a car I could do a session on track with. I'm not ready to be completely boring!
