so whats a VW like to drive?

im saving for a new car atm, and have swayed more towards ford, cos of the parts being cheaper should things go wrong, want to keep a low engine size to save on tax/insurance, 1.1-1.3, but have briefly thought about a VW, there some nice looking models about.

Helen.. personally for a car to build up a no claims.. id look at getting a 1.4E Golf - Mk4, think its only insurance group 4. Very realiable cars ( All vw's are ) ...


FORD - Frequently or Regularly Damaged. Generally unreliable and the parts are so cheap coz they break so often :P


p.s add a little Toyota Yaris into contention :) nice little cars + basically most things Jap or German are reliable :)

Cheers for that Tiff :P

I got an old Ford Escort 1.297 atm, parents gave it to me for my 1st year driving, which was a good job as i had a bump 6 wks into passing my test, then took the wing mirror off reversing into the drive the same day, head was in the shed , the bump really shook me up, although all that has been sorted, and im glad to say no bumps since! bit more experienced now! I think you always have an affiliation for your 1st car & this is prob the reason ive swayed more towards Ford. I learnt in a Fiat Stilo 1.8 which was a stunning car to drive though! but drove ther 2.0 version as my instructor upgraded a few weeks before my test.
How true is that saying: you only learn to drive when you pass your test, i completely understand that now!

Ive only gone 3rd party fire & theft as i thought it was a bit pointless paying more for the insurance than what the car is worth, so i get my 1st years no claims next month.

I got to admit even though she's ancient, she runs like a dream, will start no matter what the weather, its been looked after only 2 owners before me & one being my mum, serviced every year, is really good on petrol, only thing ive had to change really was the back box (which was my fault) :oops: and just tyres with general wear & tear.
Due tax & mot next month and until i save enough for a newer car she should keep me going.

Im after anything upto a 1.3 ideally with the tax being cheaper/low insurance group ect.


Ab-Fabs
Run a quote with this place:
e-groupinsurance

You can only purchase online but i have had no problems and my quote was dirt cheap for a 1st time driver, although i did get discount for being over 25, my policy for the year was just £307, 3rd part fire,theft,commuting.

I tried confused.com & the cheapest they came up with was over £100 more expensive than e-group.

Worth running a quote. ;)

So what does everyone think of the Toyota Celica?
Because I believe that it is beautiful, I don't know about performance wise, but Image wise I think its beautiful and has alot of potential to become even more better. Toyota Celica is going to be my first car and when i get it i'm going to kit it up to the max(Maybe not over the top) and tune it to the max as well.

It looks great yeah. More of a image car than a real thoroughbred I guess, but great first car for those who can afford it.

One of my friends has the 1.8 VVTi and they aint slow cars.. certain ones push out 190bhp if i remember right (around 135 for standard) , plus for a wee bit extra you could splash out a bit and get a Celica GT still 190bhp but looks so much better :D below:

for the supercharger + all the uprated internals they took 3200.. which actually when i think on it is really really good, considering it costs around 2500 to supercharge a small car like a saxo vts
