thinking about doing my car test
 

yep tried the world of cars a few years back but never really gelled and didnt bother with the test after doing a load of lesson's but think i'm gonna give it another shot soon just looking at what sort of car would be a nice one to keep really liking mazda's at the minute or maybe a legacy something along those line's that i'm not gonna get bored off not interested in small car's tbh i'd just end up selling it after a few month's any suggestion's would be cool.

Alfa Romeo 156.
Has been my favourite car i've owned so far. Tremendous performance and engine for literally no money.
I got a 2001 Veloce Model with the ridiculous spolier. £1500. :)
I miss that car.

not sure about italian car's though as it's going to be relieving the sv of commuting role i need it to be reliable i think it'll have to be a jap car just don't know what i'm looking at tbh and the insurance seem's to be rediculous on anything above 1.6 tried a mazda 3 series and they quoted me over £800 i dont think so.

Re: thinking about doing my car test
 

Yup insurance will be ridiculous if you have no no claims.
Your in the boat going the other way than me :)
Im found bike quotes were ridiculous!!!

You want a reliable Jap car??? Wanna buy my Lexus?? ;)

Re: thinking about doing my car test
 

No its a 2.0. Sorry.
Yeah where as I looked for insurance for a few bikes and the SV was the only reasonable one.

Re: thinking about doing my car test
 

i think where i'm going wrong is most people who have no ncb buy something carp like a corsa or fiesta or summat ghey like that i want something that's gonna last me not get bored of it and be comfortable theres got to be something.

I guess you are over the magic 25 years old barrier?
My first car was a Peugeot 309. :) Nice

Re: thinking about doing my car test
 

nope 21 this is the problem

Re: thinking about doing my car test
 

Ahhhhhhhh
Well what I did when I got my first decent car was include that cost of a years insurance in the cost of the car i.e.:

I took out a £6k. Bought a Mini Cooper Sportspack for £4500 and my insurance for the year was about £1500

The next year my insurance dropped by half.
