Hey there, my names Thomas and im currently looking at purchasing a Clio, pref a 1.4 16v 03/04, I currently have an 03 Focus zetec tdci but looking at a smaller nipyer feeling car having been driving for 3years ive already had a few cars, a 1990 mini, 1970 beetle, the focus and a mk2,mk3 and mk4 golfs.
Due to the old cars I had classic insurance so my first years of driving cost me around £300 insurance Only down side is no ncb! Im currently on a 18month insurance policy which counts as 2years ncb once complete (which will be May 2011) so until then in the eyes of other insurance company's I still have no NCB which makes insurance a difficult area.
So looking at changing vehicle with my current insurance and almost everything has been stupidly inflated premium increases but a 1.4 16v clio seems to be a great option with their decent 100bhp engines and only group 5 insurance.
Saying that I have just found a local low milage good condition 1.2 16v Clio Billabong and will be looking at that later today as the price is right!
