    why not go in between and get a 1.4 furio, there a quick enough we car, not to slow and not to fast imo. easly enough to get ensured and can have the same mods as any vt* kit saxo.

    Yeah personally i would go for the furio spend less time and money on mods like you would on the 1.1 but the VTR insurance will be well expensive. happy medium mate

    furio would be best mate unless you want a large insurance bill

    furio, then when your insurance drops in a couple of years drop a vtr/s lump in!

    insurance for my furio when i was 17 was £1800 third party altohugh im living in Northern Ireland so insurance ain't that cheap over here lol, but im sure people will tell you some cheaper prices. by the way try Quinns Direct for insurance. they specilise with young drivers and seem to be quite popular and relatively cheap over in England.

    A decent price for a furio would be around the £2500 mark. There are some pretty nice ones about, just like FurioALs...the nicest one ive ever seen lol. Just try looking in the autotrader or on piston-heads mate.

    My insurance for my furio was £1500 with a provisional then dropped to £1420 after i passed
    So it is fairly cheap for a first car. Thats with quinn-direct by the way.
