Thinking about a car change
Hi,
I have a Vauxhall Astra mk3 1.6 8v and i'm kind of toying with the idea of selling it getting something a little faster and something with 16v. I have had the astra for a little over a year know and it has done 75K on the clock, which is quite a lot for a car of this age i think (97 R).
I was thinking of a small hot hatch..peugoet 205 GTI 1.9, but im not sure wether i could get insurance on one
anybody got any suggestions, or just stick with the astra for a bit longer and get a scooby, which is my dream.
Darren
BTW, i think i should mention, im 20yrs old and im 6ft 3.5" tall. so need quite a bit of leg room.

get yourself a nissan 200 for a nice rwd drive car, s14s can be picked up for about 3k and mods can easily be done for more performance
I'm 6'3 and fit but no room in the back tho.....

Nissan 200, you mean one of these Link .
I don't think i could get insurance one one of those. As im paying something like 900-1000 at the mo with L&V through the CSMA, so won't really find insurance any cheaper.
