Default 8/9k

Young brother is after something for about 8/9kish, he is after something sporty but being only 22 makes insurance a bit of a killer
Anyone got any views on what he could go for the scoob was out of his league & open tops r a no no

Thanks in advance

Stephen

The Seat is only just out and 15k, but I did have an alternative, a Focus TDCi, much lower insurance group too. Plus its plenty quick enough and you can tune it upto 140hp and 250lb ft easily. Plus the drive is superb, easily the best in its class.

Did he check the insurance?

I have owned both Ibiza Cupra & Cupra R and had problems when it came to insurance time

For some reason i had to pay £100/£150 MORE to insure the R and that was even if they gave me a quote

Anyway i hope he has fun(i am sure he will ) have a word with a REVO dealer and he will have MORE fun
