[myatt]

hello all im buyin a starlet but i dont no what 2 get im after the turbo ep82 but im considering the sr non turbo like what would you all rackomend then cheers

[whitestarlet]

it depends wat you want mate the ep82 is quiet high on insurance since it is an import and 1.3 turbo while the SR is uk spec car !! both are very reliable if looked after !!

[scutch0]

yeah totally.

the turbo is the obvious choice... but i like the look of the n/a ep91 sr... but only comes with a turbo if you get the glanza...

its a tough one... but in the end i think you'd get the turbo.

Yeh depends on what your budget is and if you can afford both insurance and car for the turbo.

i got a quote with elephant tptf 1 yrs no claims to be 1250 on an ep82 turbo.

But my normal n/a ep91 was 1100 fully comp as my first car.

cheers ive got 3 grand 2 spend on a car and insurance i want the turbo for odvious reasons bt aint 100% sure witch to get

[starletno1fan]

3 grand hmm.. how many ncb you hav?

[shelly_star]

and are you a first time driver? have you tried ringing up and getting some quotes, that will help you decide what to get. Turbo side you gotta think whether you can afford to run it as petrol side is not that economic, you should know what i mean... hehe.

[myatt]

[hugorufus]

go 4 the gt but like shelly said its very expensive 2 run

[gaz]

im 19 n i have a gt turbo, fucking ace car, im proud of it, its alot better than youll think, and forget about saxos n corsas, youll be racing 2litre jobbies.

[gaz]

yeah, its true, although practically everyday a corsa will try and race you, not worth the petrol to me, i just let them be.. lol

[Robbo]

a corsa was all over my arse this morning on the way to work

Then I put my foot down.

starlet wins, the end.

[gaz]

see you get a corsa try it like everyday lol

i had one last week.

[myatt]

cheers for the advice guys i hate corsa i get raced buy 1 every mornin on the way 2 work and dick it every day fookin idiot lol he doesent learn

[gaz]

where do you live?

[shelly_star]

expensive to run, but they are fun little cars with a small turbo. you test drive one yet? once you test drive one and put your foot down, you don't even have to think about whether to buy it or not, when i took the glanza out up the hill, i was amazed in the power it had.... so the deposit was down straight away.lol.

Don't get me wrong, the SR is a nice everyday car to drive around in, the standard TTE springs are really comfortable, even though it's sat on my drive, won't be long till my brother will be driving it.

[starletgtt]

The EP82 is a cracking little pocket rocket and can be reasonable to run if you dont run on high boost and dont rag it but then again thats half the fun.

19 years old I imagine will be a sticking point with insurance as it is a group 13 -14

and if you have not got any no claims or very little the insurance companies will hammer you.

Try Liverpool and Victoria or performance Direct.

dont go for obvious companys non of them would touch me.. had to go with a smaller one.

[gaz]

they gave me a quote about 4months ago for 1100 then i rang and they wouldnt do it spose it depends on things.

[scutch0]

yeah same thing happened with me.

for my first year on my starly they quoted me £1300, rang back an it was £1500
