What car?
What car?
Now i'm 18 I wan't to get to places in real style than take the bus.
I've got around 25k to spend I don't really mind if it's new or second hand,
The musts list:
Can't be older than 5 years
Has to have less than 50,000 miles
Quite cheap to run
Doesn't look like an old mans car
Would like 4 doors
The cars i like so far are the BMW 330I SE and BMW 525D
Any other ones?

sorry guys but this is a fantasy thread....
but anyways as a new driver at that age nobody should be thinking higer than a 1.4 engine.
Insurance companies will hardly even look at you for a higher powered car, and those that do will charge the earth for insurance. On top of that an inexperienced driver in a powerul car will most likley be in a nasty accident inside a year..not worth the risk at all!

Exactly jimmy, the voice of reason at last!
I know a petrolhead like this. Totalled an Audi tt, and now has a Porsche boxster. His insurance is now about £4,200 a year.
I know it won't be that much to insure yourself, but you really should be looking at a small engined car to start you off.

I've done a few quotes on the bwm's and most places wont take me on and the rest want about 6-7k!
The fords aint bad, It's just the brand name that puts me off, I can see them been worth half of what they are today a year down the line
Think i'll go for a cheap polo till i can get insurance for a bmw
