ReeceGolliker Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 So I'm thinking about buying a daily for whilst I'm in Manchester, main criteria is;In order; Not French Cheap as possible Reliable as possible Cheap to run/insure Look okThinking a Lupo/civic or maybe a NA starlet? I'm only 20 and my girlfriend would probably drive it over summer whilst I'm in the glanza so cheap on insurance is a must! Any suggestions would be great! Cheers, Reece.

Walker96 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Na starlet matey! Mines loads of fun even on track lol good on fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dale SR Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I would go for a standerd starlet. They really are the best most reliable car for the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 n/a starlet i have one as my work horse its so slow though will be ideal for a run around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverep82gt Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If its a daily go for a vag derv. Decent on fuel cheap insurance and good to drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Depends what kind of money your spending on the car itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 E11 corolla. Comfy, reliable, fun and loads of space for the size of car. Bug eyes have a 4efe or 4afe 1.6Facelift have vvti engines which tend to burn oil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 another turbo starlet mate cheap to run as fuck !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Insurance would be a fortune at 20 though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 An na starlet ticks all the boxes :-) get a sr or a 4paw would be spot on if we had snow 😂 But a 4paw isn't cheap :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Ep3 mate hands down just got one myself for a daily or a Corolla t sport or if you just want cheap and reliable get a na starlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm going towards an NA starlet to be honest! my Glanza isn't too bad on insurance to be honest! its difficult to get a slow boring daily car when theirs lots of cool stuff like a EF civic etc, but i know that won't be reliable haha!

ReeceGolliker Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Probably around £1000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 You can get all sorts for less than 1k. Best cars ive had for that money have been lexus gs300 and a subaru legacy wagon. They didnt tick all the boxes hence why i got rid but there are always really good cars out there for cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
