no i got my 1.8t for 5400 in november with 50k and its a 53 plate. get a 1.8t then a map alone will see 200ish bhp but i think standard 150 will be more than enough for you at first.

fast and running costs dont really go together. how big a car do you want, not fancy something bigger than a corsa?

Not sure i sat in a corsa C sri the other day and that felt alot bigger compared to my B.
I have been considering the astra mk5 too but when i get up close for a look they look massive tbh.
I don't really need a big car.

Too many have this thought, and personally I think its bollocks, if I had a choice I'd go for a diesel, my first car was a diesel, and yes I didn't do much mileage in it, but it was pretty nippy, economical and just love how a diesel drives, plus good gains to be had from simple mods... It's a no brainer, I read somewhere that someone got 300bhp out of a 1.5td which is stock 67bhp? And thats not even a modern diesel. , in fact a week after having my 1.4, I thought, I wished I'd gone for a diesel again.
