First car was a VW Lupo Sport 1.4 - Was a fantastic little run around and managed to squeeze a bit of power out of it pushing it to about 115bhp.
My next car and current car is a Peugeot 106 GTI with a lot of power mods to it ranging from port and polish, to kent cams, and blitz exhaust, air filter etc... the usual.
It's a great car, and i know that a lot of people slate peugeot's and french cars in general but i love it, but it's an R reg sitting on 92,000 miles and i think that any money put into it will result in swallowing that money up.
So i'm now in the market for a new car.
Insurance is a major factor.
I'm 20 with 1 year ncb and i pay £1400 fully comp with all the mods on the 106.
In July i will be 21 with 2 years ncb's so i'll be buying a new car then.
I'm after something with a bit more poke, i mean my GTI does 0-60 in 6.1 and i've had it off the speedo (140mph) (on a track by the way) but i want something around the 190bhp mark as standard with the opportunity to tune it slightly.
I have been looking at either -
BMW 325i coupe but i heard that they can be quite dull and people get bored of them quickly.
Other choice is one of my favorite cars -
Subaru Impreza WRX 2 Litre Turbo as i'd love to have a 4wd car, and a turbo fascinates me, and the fact that my brother has owned 4 and my cousin has owned 3, so any help with tuning them, modding them etc... i have help at stand by.
Any other recommendations?
My car is insurance group 13, but a scooby is 20, so i could go up for the right car but my budget is around the £5k mark which i could buy either of the above cars on that budget.
Cheers,
Andy
