speaking to my dad today and he said i could take some money out of a trust account me and my bros got to buy one when they come out
he wants me to get a new car cos the engine has being playing up ever since i got it (fixed it enough times) but i love it and my mods are just coming together now nicely
only thing is, is that im going uni in september so would it really be worth it cos i cant even have a car in the first year at uni, do u think i should wait till i finish uni and get a second hand one if i could cos it would be much cheaper and only 2-3 years old
what do u think?

it's a tough one cause a second hand one would definately make more sense financially-especially if you can't drive it for a year! but if you buy a new one you'll always know how it's been treated and things like that! also you can have more of a pick on colour and spec i'd guess? you'd be limited by second hand availability! sod it go get one! too right!

Whens it coming out then? and how much is it going to be? I'll be able to get a good deal on one, but it depends on insurance cos i'm only 17 at the mo, 18 in a month tho

it ain't that quick for a turbo really 0-62.5 in 7.9 seconds, only just quicker than a VTS

ryan l 0-60 times mean nothing in the car world they are no way of telling a cars performance, 1/4 mile is better and 0-100 and 50-90 times are where it matters most look at the torque for the the new corsa alot more than the vts so it will have more acceleration throughout the rev range

your sitting next to a car at the traffic lights, you wanna race so you put your foot down but you don't carry on till you reach 100 (unless you want to kill someone) so i'd say it does matter. Unless you technique is to ask to reach 50 and then race
Never mind

Never mind
and how often do you do that compared to normal driving then?
