Car suggestions.

[Gordy]

Ok after one too many times in the garage my saxo vtr has to go, its been nothing but a pain in the arse.

So I'm after a replacement:

My requirements are as follows

Has to be fast
Not to high an insurance group
Seat 5
And most importantly be reliable
Cost Up 2 4-5 grand


Any suggestions welcome thanks

V8 Discovery

golf gti
volvo t5 (might seem an odd suggestion but insurance is VERY cheap for speed)

[Gordy]

T5 thats odd choice bit too big for my liking but they is nice Discovery too much of a gas guzzler and I would imagine the golf is pricey on insurance ?

Thanks for the suggestions

850 t5 is pretty big - i think they did a s40 t5 but i dont think the handling was up to much. lupo gti?

[Gordy]

s40 I like them but would I get one under 5 grand? Think it was called the t4 wasnt it?

I have that at the moment with saxo Tis good insurance group 4 from memory and quick

[Maffu]

Group 4? Wow. Didn't think they were *that* low.

Well, I think anything 200SX/MR2/sorta deal will be pretty high on the insurance list. What about the likes of a Leon Cupra R, CTR, etc? Won't skip a beat, and are pretty quick.

Heh. I'd spent £2k on your Golf and make it bloomin' quick.

Seat 5???

Not sure what u mean by that....

The Ibiza's are incredibly low on insurance (group 2 or 4) I think...

The newer ones are VERY nice, and u can get the previous one for well in your budget

Seat 5 - as in 5 people can sit in the bugger.

I thought the VTR was group 7, as for it seating 5 and being quick....

Astra GSi?
Group 14 tho...

It is indeed group 7 my mistake still very low in my eyes

Astras I don't like I've had two and they were awful cars.

[XTR]

how about a megane coupe
1.6 16v 110bhp
4 seats though, plastic armrest in the middle of the back.
group 8 insurance although my megane coupe is a group 9.



or....

Ford Puma, Hyundai Coupe, ........

[Gordy]

Cars that appeal to me but I dunno their prices

Fiat Coupe (Build qual iffy tho?)
Ford Puma (Bit girly)
Vw Corrado Vr6 (Bit Old)
Megane coupe (In black)
Ford Focus (drove one of them on a track and it was mighty fun )
