Golf GTi!! hell yeah, i dig euro's.

or a Mini Cooper S?

unless you want to get ass-raped by the insurance co's go for an NA euro.

I think neil will have something to say about the new mini's since he works with them.

Renault Clio(spelling???) has a rep for a very well balanced car. Handling rivals the early integra type R! That's hard to beat.

any turbo for a 17yo is going to be a killer

too many accidents of late

renault clio sport

[Ash]

get a series 2 R33! and i got insurance for under 3k

[MR R32]

Get the Golf GTi.

Buy it black, get some 18's and a good suspension set up..... They look so good

[dale]

first time ive ever got some decent advice thanks boys keep em commin in, umm golf GTi's if i get new suspension wouldnt that make my insurance premiums go a shitload higher?

also any people with skylines who are 17 or 18 please let me know how u got insurance etc i wana get a 2.5L non turbo

lol last nite i had a dream i test drove the astra sri turbo it wasnt that good :burnout:

[dale]

renault clio sport - is the v6 in australia yet? if so how much

[Ash]

check ur pm

[dale]

didnt get it yet but ill reply wen i do

[Ryan D]

Get a R33 GTS4! non turbo, so its light on insurance, and they still go hard!

looks like you'll have to get a cheaper, older model $20,000 car and keep $20,000 - for your own insurance fund: It even covers buying another one if you smash it so bad you write it off, ie. more than $10,000 damage.

If you do smash this bad then sell the car parts.

Average damage from a moderate (fairly substantial front end collision accident according to NRMA research is $3500 to $4500

So this is what you are likely to pay.

Insurance is overpriced!

just pay $211 bucks for third party property damage insurance, so you don't have to pay for the ferrari you smashed into.

try to drive safe.

If you saved paying insurance of $3000 a year up for 7 years without an at fault accident you will have saved $21,000 enough to buy another car!

... you get the idea.

Went to a Renault dealer yesterday (after alonso took his maiden win!) and asked about the clio V6. Good news is that upper managerment is thinking about bringing it out here.

Bad news is that it's that much of a weapon that insurance will be prohibitive for under 25 drivers, and even worse if a 60k+ price tag. Maybe out here early next year to mid next year if it is given the go ahead.

go the skyline dude!!

[redline2003]

i 100% agree wif Edge, as im turning 18 in 2 months and hav bout 20G to spend, insurance wif just cars for a r33 gtst was 3500, which to me aint worth it, maybe for the first year of driving but thats it. if u hav a good alarm setup and r careful on the road i can almost garuntee that if u do hav an accident it wont b ur fault. put 4000 in the bank every yr just incase u hav an accident. thats my plan, ill get 3rd party F&T. i mean if u hav full comp and u dont hav an accident congrats, but u just got raped 4G. everyone is different though and if u want more peace of mind then full comp is gonna get it.

aside from getting a skyline you could go for:

Focus ST170 or the 206 GTi180 (both are quick but don't compare to a 'line). Both have good handles.

If you look around hard enough you might be able to find an EVO3.

Actually come to think of it just get a R32 GT-R

[fatz]

just get a r31 gtsx

by the way i have one for sale for 6.5k

get a series II skyline, stock so you know it hasn't been thrashed. You could get a nice blue 97 series 2 for under 30k.
