First Car

Kroegen · 27 Apr 2006 at 14:04

As the title says i want to know what would be a good first car for me.

I want enough pulling or pushing power

and it not to be a cut and shut.

Recomendations?

Given we know nothing about you, or your potential budget, I'm gonna say....

Veyron.

Do you have a price range?

Kroegen · 27 Apr 2006 at 14:08

I forgot to mention that

Im 17, my budget for the car itself is £1000. I live in a reasonably safe area.

Depending on your price bracket, the MK4 or MK5 Fiesta Zetec 1.25 is a nice first car, as would be a clio 1.2 of some description.

Although as said, it depends on what you can afford.

EDIT: Damn your fast replying skills Kroegen! Although that means my suggestions still stand. Fiesta 1.25 would be my reccomendation!

I reckon you'll do okey with a clio, my mates got one, quite a speedy little thing, nice with an induction kit

Kroegen · 27 Apr 2006 at 14:15

What type of clio though? I heard 1.4 rt's are quite alright...

Why not just stab yourself in the head with a rusty knife? Cheaper, and the effect is much the same as owning a Corsa....

sits back and waits for the bait to reel someone in

No, they most certainly are NOT, and this is coming from someone who owned one as his first car. Any corsa he can pick up for £1,000 is going to be a relatively old Corsa B, he will be restricted to the gutless 1.2 8v due to insurance costs most likely, and it has a paltry 40 odd BHP, couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, and is built like **** to boot.

Corsa B = VERY NAFF!

now replys dont come much mre useful than that :rolleyes:

anyway, on the sensibile side, have a look at an ibiza, VAG build quality, nice to drive, not to bad on the insurance. Otherwise fiesta or clios are good choices.
