Hi guys,
Looking for a bit of advice if possible. I'm 21, 2yrs NCB, and I need an estate as I'm a DH MTBer and need to be able to take bikes and people places...saloons no good! I've been driving a Focus 1.9 TDCI. Budget upto 4 maybe 5k. I enjoy driving and don't relish the thought of having to drive something utterly lame... Running costs quite important though as I won't be doing a high mileage servicing etc as important as fuel tbh.
Currently looking Honda Civic Aerodeck VTI's - plenty of good ones for 3-4k, insurance is OK (even tho group 15 -I've checked). Reasonable economy, detuned DC2 engine (still ~170bhp), not bad to drive so far as I can see.
Octy VRS just out of budget I think.
Any advice or suggestions etc. welcome.
