Hi guys, when i turn 19 in october im going to be looking at getting a different car, at the moment im looking at Seat Ibiza Cupra's.... can get a good one for about 5k ish and there pretty nippy and tuneable...As far as insurance goes thats pretty much as high as i can go... a car of that sort of speed... other car's ive considered are a 1.8 Corsa C and a Polo Gti.... but neither really match up to the Cupra so any idea's ?

Well the ibiza is 2k, Could get an Audi A3 1.8T for around the same insurance, the Ibiza is deffinetly winning at the moment, only other car i like is a startlet turbo but insurance would kill me.

Sounds pretty much like you've convinced yourself to the Seat. Sounds like the best thing for you if you want something nippy and tuneable.

Well if you want low insurance, AND something nippy - then you'd be stupidly stubborn to turn down a derv

Get an ibiza FR or Cupra TDi - either 130 or 160bhp, and both remap easily to the region of 185 - or well over 200 with uprated clutch and intercoolers.

But.. if you dont want a diesel, then prepare to pay higher insurance

hes not saying that

you said the ibiza is 2k to insure, but you dont seem to be to bothered by that, so you could spend 2k insuring anything.... meaning you can insure a lot of cars....
