First Car Thoughts/.
Ill be looking for a car (Hopefully), around May/June/July next year. (Once i have a job i can save save save!).
Just wondering what a good idea for a first car would be? Ide prefer it to be japanese, so i can be more part of the club, but any car will do.
Budget: £1.4-5k. + Insurance.
I need to get a lot of hours in at work, and some extra shifts, all in amongst my college work, b ut ill try and do it.
Get thinking

Good little reliable car and you can always make it look better, being as there are quite a few mods out for it (if insurance allows?) :thumbup1:

Looked for a starlet and they was around the 3.2k a year mark. And the DTurbo 306's are even more. Its not the car, its the insurance :O.
EDIT. The DTurbo only come in a 2.0litre. = 1999T Peugeot 306 D Turbo, 1905CC Diesel, 5DR, Manual = £2737.97 SHOCKING :O. Thats quite cheap to say what it is.

I was looking at the civic. But the older civic is a higher end insurance group, and will cost me about 3k. Whereas the new 2001 + versions are only 2.5k a year. O sorry, yerh 1.4litre Honda Civic 2001, £2775 a year.

Does 3rd party fire and theft count if someone just vandalises it? (EG Breaks a window, in an attempt to steal something from inside?)
