I want this as my first car

[BennyD]

.....that's more good advice from Uncle Dem. Get yourself a decent diesel; cheaper to insure and cheaper to run so you have more money to spend on girls and hang-overs!

 

[GransportFan1]

a diesel would not be a bad idea, i may consider one.

 

[BennyD]

Trust us Adam, it makes a lot of sense and there are plenty of good ones to choose from.

 

[GransportFan1]

yeah there are a lot out there such as mk4 golfs, polo's etc..

I have an Alfa disiel, and although I cant get passionate about it, for the power, comfort and economy, you just cant beat them.

Plus, if you but an 100hp entry level one, you can boost them up to nearly double the hp, so they make great sense from an insurance perspective.

my diesel is a 1.4 tdi, has 80bhp with 150 torque, weights slightly more than a mars bar and has all the extras like electric windows power steering abs.....
a full tank is £40 and does 400 miles to the tank........

 

[dem maser]

you could go for the panda diesel, i saw one and wanted it, has 4 doors, its roomy, does 50 mpg and with the sporting spec it looks like a 100hp,or you copuld get the kit for £800 put it on, then you have a sporty looking but economical and cxheap to run car. road tax is £30, same as my seat diesel......

To be honest, i would like a C2 VTR, not sure if i want an Auto though, drove one on the housing estate i live on, very nippy.

 

[dem maser]

the sens odrive they do is ****. manual the one to get, i looked into the C2 diesel when lookint at runarounds and decided the panda diesel is better......

 

[GransportFan1]

I dont think the Sensodrive is too bad, been in my mates C2 quite a few times, it is not as bad as some auto boxes.

 

[dem maser]

we have different opinions........merc, M3 come to mind........

i hated it, they dont work in town, the smart one is **** but still better

 

[GransportFan1]

The C2 which has the same engine as the VTR but with a manual gearbox is called the GT but it is insurance group 8 whereas the VTR is 6.

 

[dem maser]

get it, not the senso drive though

 

[GransportFan1]

As i finish education/college on the 23rd June, i am going to try and start working again at the Ferrari and Porsche specialist i worked at, as i will have about 9 weeks off in summer, i could easily earn 1K. That will help massively towards a car.

 

[GransportFan1]

Dem, what you think, this is awesome.

[dem maser]

i like it but have to take the decals off.......
you sure you could get insured on that and not a 100hp, its a 1.6......a cat c also......

 

[GransportFan1]

Yeah i just read it is Cat C. This is a nice one though,

would offer £2900 as it is at a dealer, like the colour combo, the black and blue seats are my fave for the C2. Get the wheels painted anthracite.

 

[dem maser]

they worth it under 3k......above that and the panda is my choice

 

[GransportFan1]

I dont like the white wheels you get on the GT, they would have to be painted another colour like grey.
