[boyracer666]

what is the fuel economy of these on avg?

what is the insurance like for a 20/21 year old fully comp?

comments please...

Jay

 

[Bryan]

economy - should be around 35-40 mpg

insurance - similar to a 1.8 16v i think (couple of groups less, but not many)

 

[boyracer666]

people who own a 1.6 16v of mk2 phase 2 age, please can you give ur insurance quotes and from what company

Jay

Jay one more thread which has little stars and capital letters and youre getting a mighty slap.

Get a better car than a 1.6 Clio, theres more focused machines about(sorry).

-Rob

 

[jon_r]

Jay get the 1.4 16v, its only 10bhp down on the 1.6 and a huge amount cheaper to insure.

 

[Tom]

and is easy to tune

 

[boyracer666]

f**k u bout the stars and caps rob

i cant afford better than a 1.6-how many times do i have to tell u!

i want the rxe which comes in a 1.6 engine. i want the toys as well as power

Jay

 

[RobFenn]

You dont have to get a Clio i meant!

 

[Tom]

see that!!

Ban him!!

 

[boyracer666]

but the reason i am is cos of the mods i have done-can just move them over

wot wud u say then rob?

 

[RobFenn]

Ok..good idea. Not wanting a new project then? Id get a 106 Rallye. Some nice wheels and a wooly hat..sorted!

-Rob

 

[boyracer666]

wanting a new project does not come into it as am on a tight budget and want power, toys, mods

u mite want a scarf too-wud strangely suit u

Jay

 

[RobFenn]

The pug costs as little as a 2k. You could get the GTI leather interior, lightweight wheels and upgrade the brakes..not tempted? Theyre superb cars..just dont crash..

-Rob

 

[boyracer666]

i do like them, sum1 near me has 1

but its a lot of power so insurance goes up

also no warrenty or safety features

Jay

 

[Tom]

alot of power?

98bhp?

 

[boyracer666]

doesnt have to be bucket loads but more than i have. and 100bhp is much more

plus it needs toys!!!!

[boyracer666]

yes

lovely car-even tho its white

but no for the reasons as above

Jay be sensbile man... Why waste your money on a dog slow 1.6... Stick with the 1.2 for a while and wait until you can afford to insure and purchase a decent car... Or you could do what I have done and sourced a cheap reliable car that gets me from A-B (almost quickly). I have loads of cash spare as the car is cheaper, it has never gone wrong but if it did I have cash to fix it!

Now Im buying a house, getting onto the ladder and then in a few years I will get a real car, not a silly modded clio... (no offense to anyone)

 

[boyracer666]

it wont cost me much money-this is the thing

how old r u nick?

wot car u got?

 

[iPap]

Rob, for once I agree with you! A 106, cheap, nippy, reliable! What more do you want!

 

[Tom]

Safety.

 

[boyracer666]

pug reliable and safe?

 

[iPap]

Clio is oh soooo safe my arse!

Jay buy a Volvo!

 

[RobFenn]

lol!

Jay youre young mate, through caution to the wind a bit..

 

[Tom]

ok

Mk1 not so safe

Mk2 safe

 

[iPap]

You cant have your cake and eat it remember... We are talking about on a budget. Unless you have loads of cash then you will never get the best the world has to offer!

 

[Bryan]

or a Saab (old one)

 

[boyracer666]

clio isnt that bad-does the pug have airbags etc etc-basics

also i looked on carsource and pug rallye is R plate 5k roughly-who sed cheap?

wots more is it reliable?

Jay

 

[Tom]

if you give me more than £4k you can have my car

 

[boyracer666]

if i throw caution to the wind rob, will i live to buy betta-haha

im not asking for too much, jus somat thats cheap, reliable and a bit safe with toys

 

[boyracer666]
