geo-hovis Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I never crashed my first car at 17, and I haven't had a crash! But I see where people are coming from as its the "typical" thing to do for a young male driver is to crash. Rover 214 SEI. Got the same engine as the Metro GTi, the multi point 1.4ltr 16v Twin Cam engine! Has 102bhp. And unlike the Metro GTi the insurance isn't as steep.

Nathanio Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If it were me i'd get the cheapest runaround for now (as someone else said your sure to crash at some point....its all part of the learning curve lol)...... and if your dad left money for a house then get one, the sooner you get on the property ladder the better, and if you didn't want to move out of home so young then rent your property out so you get a bit more income every month. you've got plenty of time to get flash/fast/ or offroad cars later when you've had more experience and can appreciate them more................. oh bugger i sound like my dad now!! This ^^^^^ is the most sensible thing to do. Spend a few years in cheaper cars and get going and some NCB under your belt. Then when you can change to the car. You will have a larger income by that point and will make life easier. Also don't splash cash on a car if you have the oppurtunity to buy a house. Getting a foot on the ladder is much more important. That sets you up for life. I had when I was 17 a 1978 1500cc MG Midget as my first car insured on classic car insurance and dirt cheap to run I have gone -> MG Midget --> Punto 75 --> Rover 214Si 16v --> Seat Toledo S 1.9TDI 110 (engine blew after oil pump failure and hydrolocked) --> Seat Toledo SE 1.9TDI 110 and now on an Octavia Estate 2.0TDI 140. Where do you live as postcode has a massive effect on insurance costs. My second Toledo was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash1984 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I would go for a Toyota Starlet or a bubble shape micra with the 1.3 engine. Best starter cars out there, especially the micra - just watch for the rusty sills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
