Right, im definatly getting rid of the saxo and buying a new car when i start my new job.

Got a few ideas but i want to know what people would look at for around 4-5k.

Gotta be nippy but also good on fuel. Diesel or petrol and maybe even a turbo

Just a few ideas and sorry to post another question like this

For 5k, I'd buy something like a 200sx, Audi A3 1.8t Quattro, that sort of thing.

Unless you want something small?

No, the 150 is the one with turbo troubles, I think. Jr will know for sure (or mattb etc)

Insurance isn't too bad on them, even thought they're a high IG.

You can get a VERY good standard one for 5k or a little more.
