First car suggestions!

AMD643000+H · 25 Jan 2006 at 19:56

Well, Im only 15 , nearly 16 at the moment. I am thinking about what car i am going to want. Parents are going to be buying the motor with a budget of roughly 1500. I basically want a car that looks good, goes fast and is well....... Good

My dad who is over 50 shall we say, will be insuring the car.

Any suggestions, Cheers

Yes, ask the same question again in a years time.

The car market will be completely different in a years time and the sort of things you can get for 1500 quid will be different.

You sure not a BMW 540 Fox?

Similar to Fox's answer here - when I was 15 I thought my first car would be a Dodge Charger, I even put wanted ads up in the supermarket for one.

Come back when you are learning to drive as any suggestions given here will be out of date by the time you eventually buy a car.

While its cool to have an interest in cars and i used to dream of owning one at 15 / 16, i'm affraid thats all your doing dreaming.

Post back in a year or so, don't make the same mistake others have and buy a car before your 17.

Also i suggest something Slow / Cheap / French

Damn, Il guess I will be posting back in a year!

Ps I was thinking a

Saxo, Clio, Civic or a escort

Saxo / Clio / Fiesta / Mondeo / Accord.

saitrix · 25 Jan 2006 at 20:09

No for £1500, you should get a Mondeo!!!!!!!

AMD643000+H · 25 Jan 2006 at 20:13

Mondeo = Slippers n Pipe

Umm, perhaps if you get a good old 1.6LX, they do some good looking mondys imho.

Yea you'd know all about cars at 15

Meanwhile the Ford Escort is super hip and trendy even though there are billions in every old peoples home carpark

AMD643000+H · 25 Jan 2006 at 20:24

I know a fair bit, I do like the new mondeos. Allthough the old ones are just rolling slippers

[TW]Fox · 25 Jan 2006 at 20:25

I must sell my car, a 15 year old thinks its a rolling slipper.

AMD643000+H · 25 Jan 2006 at 20:26

Run while you can! (Or roll)

Mobile coffin imho...

Why dont you look at what you get for your money before turning your nose up at them? How does leather, heated seats, electric seats, A/C, all leccy windows and cruise control to name a few.

Lol at the dodge charger, more exotic taste than mine! Wanted a mini since i was 12, got one when i was 17. Stick to your dreams dude.
