daniel_g Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 So i'm needing a car to cut about in for a while since my GT is dead and gone. My next starlet project will probably be an N/a that'll be getting turbo'd, so not sure if i want N/a starlet run about or not. Wanting to stick to the jap theme, previous cars being a Yaris T sport, couple of Civics, Classic WRX and a GT. Also insurance is killer being 19... Yeah so any recommendations for me ?

Idrees Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 What sort of budget? If you're looking for something cheap then I'd go for a Micra Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Was waiting for that, theres a green micra in my town for 250. Idealy under a grand, any more and it will take away too much Starlet funds Im quite fussy though haha, despite the civics lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 97-01 corolla. Great cars comfy spacious, reliable, quiet. Pre 99 use 4efes or 4afes. Later are vvti engines Cheap insurance as theyre a grandads car lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I agree with Morgey actually, the bug eye Corollas are decent cars and apparently drive very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
