Cheers man

Bare in mind im 18 and only have 1 years ncb (well with have in feb when I sell the spaxo) so a GTI is out of question, need something under a group 10 really! A saxo VTR is a group 7 and has around the same power as a 1.8 soooo

I know what you mean about the French nightmares.. not really the bets in a crash!

And thanks Len405 its been my username on www.saxperience.com for a year or so and 3k + posts so I figured why change?

golfdan hmmm lol

hello and welcome

I got my first GTI when i was 18, was on my parents insurance though but worth it. That was for a Mark 2 16v.
You should be ok with a years no claims, i havnt got any at the moment which is a pain when it comes to insuring cars

no seriously i say this now and to any new driver/young driver... dont pay over the odds for modded underpowered shat cars, pay the extra on the insurance get a cheaper hot hatch and go for it , honestly shop around and youll see what i mean...

when i was 17 in 1992 i had a c reg 85 xr3i in white done up as a rs turbo custom, car cost me a grand and insurance was £1400 , but at the time for a 7 year old car that looked like something damn fast and wasnt like some of the 950 fiestas and stuff my mates were driving it was great... i had 16v ashtray gte 's and alsorts mate,

so do it..

welcome buddy 

if you can get a golf you wont regret it the quality is soooo much better than a saxo i know i have had one
what about getting a diesel and remaping it insurance will be cheap and it will be pretty fast

i have always had pretty fast cars i had nova sr's when i was 17-18 and when i was 19 i got a 205 gti

Hey Slick#13 whats an arrow?

And back to kniteriders comment, thanks for getting back to me

Im not really into modding cars the only thing modded about my saxo is the lowerd suspension, but it was like that when I got it  :embarassed:

I only have about £1500 to play with when looking for a golf and dont want to be paying more than £100 in insurance witch is what a 1.8 will be

Im not overly fussed on speed, just looking for something a bit nippyer than a 1.1 haha and something thats built well, relaible and looks mean! (mk3 golfs)

But I will look into a cheaper GTI maybe a mk2?

Thanks again for your advice, your a freindly bunch here
