Buying a new car...

Hello,

Coming up to renewing my insurance after nearly a full year of driving my lovely corsa b.

Im thinking about a new car but no idea where to start? I have been looking at rx8s but after a bit of thought, its probbably not worth it due to running costs etc.

I would like a car that is easy to modify i.e. performance exhausts, look nice with tints etc. (not for the boy racer appeal just because I enjoy it)

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Nothing like an audi tt or anything, just an average car thats pretty quick off the mark.

I appreciate any replies

Sam

get a corsa 1.4 or 1.6, but make sure its a corsa B as anything else, saxo, fiesta, etc has no match on a vauxhall engine of the same type, FACT plus anything else is heavier anyway. and these engines with little tuning can reach high HP. the 1.6 can with little tuning can reach 115 bhp +, with just cams, and a re-tune and a re-map etc and port and polish, can reach 150+ they were suposedly 180bhp when they first invented the 1.6 16v engine at vauxhall themselves.
