Cool, where is it then and who's going?

I might be in the area, was thinking of popping along unless it's an exclusive meet lol.

Well they have been going for more than 25 years and are thatcham approved. I Personally wouldn't say it's invasive it includes a anti-tamper security housing, a sound box and sensors for door, bonnet and boot, oh and two fobs. It has shit loads of security features, some optional extras but I'm well happy with it. Search them online 😊

I've just had a cat 1 auto watch alarm and immobiliser fitted. Apparently although you can still get cobra and toad alarms, they are old stock because they are no longer going I was told.

Sticker bombing should be banned lol.

So is sticker bombing though, a lot of people seem to still be doing that.

They are spent cartridges, not live. Bring a new meaning to a blow out though lol.

Oh really? I've never seen it before.

Lol! Your not the only person who's said that.

Had an idea to put shotgun shells over the wheel nuts on my car, the thought I think was better than the actual thing. The other half likes them but I'm not sure, what do you reckon?

Lol sorry I bought that yesterday!

Oh dear, what a shame that would have been ideal in chesham.

Well that would be interesting! Considering I do intend to do a few bits eventually myself. Where are you anyway? And most importantly can you offer a nice cup of tea lol!

Hey,

I'm in Tring Hertfordshire?

Hi Everyone!

I hope I'm posting in the right place

I need your help, I'm going to view a Glanza this weekend, although I have seen them around shows etc, I have never had an official opportunity to sit in one and see what its like.

So on the off chance, is there anybody local to Tring who wouldn't mind showing off their pride and joy before the weekend?

I make a lovely cup of tea/coffee

Any offers will be most appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Gutted, will keep an eye out around Hertordshire for you. Hope you find it! Keep an eye out for any of your parts too being sold. There is hope though, I know someone who had their pulsar stolen and they were driving it around the area for a week when he found it.

Well I certainly don't plan to go out and crash but after all thats been said I don't even want to drive my saxo now lol. The idea is to stay with a smaller engine due to costs to insure, tax etc... with all said you take a risk stepping outside everyday anyway. I certainly wouldn't even dream of putting all three in the back due to the lap belt in the middle and I have recaro car seats and they are quite wide so they wouldn't possibly fit anyway.

That would be cool to convert it into a 5 door I even looked into fitting a rear custom roll cage to fit a harness for the middle but, I do all my driving mainly when my eldest is at school so I will only be taking the two youngest out the majority of the time. A 3 door isn't ideal admitfully but I only want a small car and it's no different to my saxo which is 3 door it's just got a bigger engine, like I said I'm only small myself and feel i'd struggle to drive a larger family car. Plus I have the advantage of my other half owning a five door which is much bigger.

I only have one baby but the starlet is far from ideal getting him in the back in his car seat is very hard work.

We also have an eu civic same as the ep but 5 doors and that's amazing. It's huge in the back, easily seat 3 adults. Worth a look.

Have you got a decent link? How much are they to buy?

Well I've officially made my decision not like I needed much persuasion lol. Thanks everyone.

Exactly I can garuntee they are of a far safer standard than a saxo but you would not be criticised for using that to carry children because it is not a performance car? Senseless if you ask me.

Personally I cant advise you as I dont have 3 kids but if you manage just now with a similarly sized car and would be prepared to use 2 cars when going places then I dont see why not.

Im not sure what cars in the same price bracket as a starlet would have anything other than a lapbelt in the middle seat anyway.

At the end of the day it will be your choice and you that has to live with it. If you want it enough then im sure ull manage. I have no doubts in my mind that the times you are driving it without the kids in the car that you wont regret it at all lol.

Well thank you for all your advice and opinion, I'm not much of a racer anyway because i'm terrified of crashing thanks to my saxo lol! I think I will regret it if I don't get one so F**k it! I'm getting one.

In my situation would you buy one? considering we will end up having to take two cars whenever we want to go out as a "family"

People will say its a tin can and that they arent safe to carry children about in this may be true BUT

I garuntee they are far better built than things like 106/206, corsas and fiestas all made before 2002 which no one would think twice about carrying children in.

Anyone who has owned any of those other cars will confirm just how poorly made those cars are and how cheap the materials and metals used are. Any welders will tell you that the metal used for the panels and chassis on a starlet are alot higher quality than that used on a ford or vauxhall.

That said it doesnt make them safe but tbh unless u buy a nearly new car then most n cap rating are void after 4 years of manufacturing im sure.

My saxo is disgusting when it comes to build quality, I watched the crash test and oh my gosh we would all be lucky to escape with a broken pelvis ... delightful!

Well I currently own a Citroen Saxo 1.1L obviously that hasn't got a proper middle seat belt and the boot well, its reasonable its just so boring! My other half has an Evo again, that doesn't have a proper middle belt either. I really don't want a people carrier plus i'm about 5ft 2 so probably wouldn't be able to see over the bloodie wheel!

Hi all,

I want to know who has 3 kids or more but still owns/use's the Starlet/Glanza as their everyday car to take children out and about in? Really random I know but I need to know how you do it because they are not massive and it would mean putting the eldest in the front due to the lap belt.

I have my heart set on one of these motors but with a third child on the way is it wise to consider getting one now? Even if you don't have children I'd appreciate your advice from just owning this car. Thank you

Whats the asking price anyway out of interest?

Not sure on cost but this should help if thats what you are looking for

If I'm right, he put up a thread asking for a swap with a Starlet GT, he's new and his name is Glanza91 I think. Looks tidy though haven't seen many in Blue. Hope this helps.

Hi, have you still got the orginal full interior?

Lol no, I've had a look at some of the roads and my god they look amazing!
