C2 VTS

[ash_scotland88]

Anybody have any thoughts or imput into these?
I know they get described as "go karts."

Basically looking for a smallish "city" car with sportiness, and been thinking about these or a 172.
But a 172 doesn't seem to come into price bracket very often. It's also more expensive on tax and £750 on insurance compared to £500.
As far as I can tell daily running costs are also tad cheaper on the VTS.

I think I would prefer the clio, but something tell me that I shouldn't just write off this car due to preference. Test driving isn't an option due to only having fleet insurance through work and no current car of my own, so £30 for day insurance adds up!

edit: wrong forum, please move,

Go and try some at a dealers, they should have their own insurance.

I thought typically you had to pay for them.

They should let you try before you buy.

I suppose it is a thought.
First of all need to make sure all finances are there. Been dreaming for so long now, and made so many posts about various cars even I am getting sick of it.
Just give me the moneys and let me get on with it!
Even now, after deciding that money earned this summer will be put towards a car I am still thinking about dropping back down to my originial lower budget and getting a 306 for a few years, and obvious something less 172 and more 1.2

I often drive a C2 VTR when our Punto is having various bits glued back on or whatever the hell they do to it to bodge it through another month before it has to go back because something else has broken.

Anyway... I think I can honestly say it is one of the worst cars I've ever driven but it is painfully economical if the trip computer can be believed. 54mpg over the last 600+ miles on the last one I had, not bad for a courtesy hack.

I imagine the VTS being just as crap but slightly quicker and less economical.

Cheers for the input.
Even wee things like this help me.
