Sick of problems with old cars so im gonna buy something brand spanking new instead of going for an engine conversion- what do you reckon i should get- budget of £11k which must include insuranca and some nice wheels- im 21 with 2 year no claims so it cant be that mental- and i want something which you dont see everywhere- want something new or under 2 years ols......my shortlist so far
1-mini cooper one
2-seat ibiza
3-mg zr- can get these cheap
4-golf
5-106 gti
6-punto
7-new corsa gsi(when does this come out)
what do you reckon i should get- and if you now prices that would be good

Get 172 or Cup edition.
10k + 1k insurance, or even GTi6 if you can get the cover

This is true mate. I wonder if you can get some kind of discount if you pick up the car from Cowley as opposed to having delivery to your local dealer included in the price?

Either that or give someone there some drugs in exchange for "losing" a car off the production line...

i do really fancy getting a mini cooper though- yellow one with some nice white alloys one- they do handle well fromwhat ive heard
i know 106 is a good car but im really not that keen on the look of them

Are you going to buy the car outright or get it on finance?
