First Car - Jappe - 2012-02-06 12:54
Hai
Im thinking about what car i should buy as my first car...
been thinking about it, but couldnt find it
It may not cost much, must be payable for an 18 years old boy.
And not too much power
like 100hp or something.. or even less...Jappe
RE: First Car - Crille - 2012-02-06 12:55
Golf GTI mk2
RE: First Car - Stevo - 2012-02-06 13:16
Lol Crille, you have not thought about insurance.
Corsa C 1.2 16v are prob the best way to go - good for insurance and can be quite nippy.
Saxo's as well, but depending on your location insurance could be stupid amount because of sebz driving.
RE: First Car - Ash - 2012-02-06 13:20
Saxo VTR
- 98bhp 1.6 8v Engine on Group 7 insurance. Or the Furio which looks like the VTR/S but is a smaller 1.4 engine VTS would be well out of your league as it has Group 14 insurance

Old bmw e30 318 or 320 is a quite fun car for it's price... else you got the mercedes 190e if you want RWD.
But there is a lot of other cars to chose from too, like in Sweden, Saab and Volvo's are cheap and there is a lot of them out on the market with cheap spare parts, dunno how it is in Belgium but the e30 and the Mercedes wouldn't be that expensive?
RE: First Car - ZsoLT - 2012-02-06 13:42
Saxo VTS, Pug 205 (GTI?), Suzuki Swift 1.6 or GTi, Toyota Yaris TRD, Honda Civic EK9, etc...
I don't know the british insurance, so I just wrote my suggestions.

Good luck finding a cheap EK9.

Get a reliant kitten! It's basically a robin with 4 wheels.
As a more serious suggestion - VW Polo and Seat Ibiza haven't been mentioned.
Btw, I believe the Peugeot 106 is basically the same car as the Citroen Saxo. Something to bare in mind.
RE: First Car - Bradd - 2012-02-06 14:10
Polo 1.4 8v, Corsa 1.2, Clio 1.2, Fiesta 1.25 Zetec etc. There is loads, best off getting some insurance quotes and then deciding
Zsolt those would be INSANE for a first car lol

Everybody doesnt live in the UK
RE: First Car - Josh - 2012-02-06 15:21
In England, Fiesta's, 106's and Saxo's generally get classed as boy racer cars and have a slightly higher base premium.
I've been advised that a Toyota Starlet is ideal as a first car. They are cheap to get on the road, decent but small engine. The only problem is they are not that common, which is good in one aspect but trying to find a decent cheap one may prove hard.
RE: First Car - DopeyD - 2012-02-06 16:50
fyi if looking at smaller french cars, be aware that there is not alot of gap between the pedals which makes for uncomfy driving if you have large feet.
RE: First Car - Turkey - 2012-02-06 16:52
The XFG is also a nice little first car.
