Looking for first car.

Hey guys,

Im gonna start taking lessons soon, but i need to think about getting a car as well..

What first car do you recommend?

I'm looking for a car that i will be insured on,

I dont want it to look like a piece of shit, i dont want anything under 1.2 litres.

Thx x

fiesta zetec-s?

I'd get something that you can bang about, I loved my F reg nissan sunny that i'd bang into the walls in the multi-storey so i knew i was close enough

Pug 106 , oldish , Soo fun to drive and cheap to repair.

+ indestructible.

Had soo much fun in mine i miss it

Peugeot 106 does look good

i really do recommend them. and if u drive sensibly , one of the best economy car (unincluding the hybrids and crap) .

will second the vote for the 106, especially if you can find the 106quicksilver

My neighbour has a 106quicksilver for sale, he wants about 2.2k for it. ill get a pic up later wen i get in frm work JD.

mods:
rims
spoiler
twin exhaust
mud flaps

cud always come check it out if u live near essex

plus you find out where andy lives!

loads to choose from depends on your budget, BUT please remember if you choose a 106 like people say then join the AA or RAC

just make sure when choosing a car you take someone with you who knows what to look for and obviously try and get one with as much history with it etc

get whatever for first car really, mine was a volvo 440 1.8 litre, handed down from me dad lol, wouldnt spend more than a grand on first car tho fo' sho, way more likely to crash it etc than you'd think

Ive just recently got a first car. I got a corsa 1.2L 1999 for £700 in really good condition and it runs really well and is very fuel efficient doing about 350miles to a full tank (£45). The insurance cost me £520 with my dad being the main driver and me being a named driver but with direct line I can build up no claims with them so it will end up a lot cheaper if I stay with them.

thats the thing the no claims bonus only counts with them, so abit of a waste IMO as there no where near the cheapest may as well just build your own claims up from day one

I heard corsa b's after 1997 had the handling revamped by lotus or somethin ;o

who told you that billy?

After driving one as my first car for a year after i passed i can assue you they didnt. That thing scared me round corners...

you can buy my corsa b 1999 for 700quid

clio 1.2 for £350 :P can't go wrong, not exactly a Porsche but it gets my lazy arse from a to b

same car. corsa 1.2 1999, cost me 900quid, £45 to fill up, 620 insurance with 1 claim

cant go wrong with a good old 'shitter' to get you started

i got a 1.2 punto, 5 door, yes 3 door is better. but im 19, provisional licence, insurance through quinn direct was 1,100.00 for 12 months, free break down cover n shit. The cars only worth 800 though
