Recommend me a car...
Hey lads, here's the story. I'm looking to get a new car as i've got a bit of money to spend. Around £5000. Since i passed my test 2 years ago ive had a Subaru Justy, Saxo VTR and i'm currently driving a Toyota Starlet Glanza Turbo. Just don't like the look of the starlet anymore and fancy something different.
This is what the criteria needs to fitt.
1. Needs to be a bit nippy
2. Need to be able to insure it, so dont you all say an impreza lol (I'm 19 in July and will hopefully have 2 years no claims)
3. Needs to be cool and not too common
4. Needs to do decent MPG
What are your suggestions guys as i looked at everything now!

Any of these which ive had myself should suit your criteria--- fiesta st, civic type r, clio 182, focus st170 (cheap), ibiza cupra r, or leon r, golf gti turbo. All are good cars but as for insurance i dont know what theyll cost for you but as you have a glanza then you should beable to get cover on them.

if Subaru nippy it wont be easy to insure because of its potential to thieves
unfortunately cars like this will not have exclusivity
unfortunately cars like this will not have a decent mpg.
have you considered a D-Turbo?

Hello mate ,
I Think The Smart fortwo Brabus ticks All your boxes does 50 Mpg, 74 bhp pretty nippy.
You can buy a 05-06 low mileage 5-6 k. Will save you so much money on petrol mate

What about a diesel ? astra sri cdti 150 ?? plenty or torque and economy, they are coming in around 5k with not too many miles, on the astra network they all put the dtuk chip box on, supposed to give around 190bhp and 310ftlb torque's !!!

Ian, the MR-poo Turbo would **** the poor boy up if there's any ounce of damp on the ground!
Ryan, I would whole heartidly (sp?) consider a 172/182 Cup! Have a pop down to mine to see the mrs' new one, absolutely mint to drive! With the money you save, get some uprated brakes and a few other styling mods
