Evening chaps, I'm nearly 17 (March) and i'm currently looking for my first Motor.</p>

Saxo vts</p>

What's your budget and what type of features are you looking for?</p>

 

[CelticKing]

Buy either volkswagen, audi, or skoda. (i would say mercedes and bmw as well)</p>

Renault or Citro&euml;n are ok, why don't you save money and buy a SMARTcar?</p>

The BMW 1 Series is designed for more budget-concious buyers, or University students who have an i-banking internship and are yuppies in the making. You know who you are.</p>

Look for reliability and mileage. Volkswagons sometimes have problems with their electrical systems, you might get unlucky.</p>

A bike will save you some gas, and give you some extra exercise. If you don't gotta travel too far normally, it'd be a good idea.</p>

Better late than never, I'd go for the Civic. Damn hard to say anything bad about a car that never breaks down.</p>

I think I had a Clio once as a rental, and don't remember anything awful about it, just that it was your typical tiny European style car and I felt sure a strong gust of wind would blow it over.</p>

Last time I was there I drove one of those little sub-Golf sized VWs (I forgot what they're called) and it was indeed nice, but VW seems to have major reliability problems these days.</p>
