amatthews45 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi and welcome. Any more info to what you looking to buy? Starlets comes in a few forms of trim. You have the starlet SR thats a 1.3 n/a Or the starlet GT turbo thats a 1.3 turbo Theres also the starlet ep80 4x4 I think thats a n/a but mpg figures will be diffrent. Then you got the glanzas again either a 1.3 n/a or turbo There are loads of helpfull people here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think the tax is about £145 for 12 months of the top of my head... They are generally quite cheap to run, I guess it all depends on the condition and modifications, as all will vary..

Dale SR Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Welcome buddy. Your defo better buying a glanza than a mini cooper s. Hope you find what your looking for. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K451M Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi, thanks for all the reply guys.One of the main issues I have is the engine blowing up, from what I've seen in the readers ride section a lot of people have had their engines rebuilt due to failure, is this due to too much pressure from the turbo or the engine can't handle mass power?Another issue is the turbo going as well.I'm a student with a part time job so can't really afford to buy a glanza then the engine blowing up in the future.Thanks.
