its not being a dope mate. its experience you need. if i had a turbo starlet as my first car i would have more than likely crashed it to some degree.
have you even had any experience on a moped or motorbike or anything?

no offence, but did you seriously think it was a good idea to get a turbo import performance hatchback as your first car when our a learner?


you will be paying £1500-£2000 on a normal non turbo starlet mate.

ya it was a good idea at the time.... cuz u can get insured in one under one of your parents names :)

Cant see you having a hope of insuring it mate either on your own policy or your parents as insurance companies will know exactly what your upto and will just say no. And they would be right to refuse you to be honest.

Im not trying to be a prick or anything mate. I was in your exact position when I was 17. I had to wait till I was 21 to be able to insure one and thats with full clean license and no claims. Its a long, tough wait I know but just look at your other possible options for now. Best of luck whatever you decide to do.

Started off in a micra. Lets leave it at that:) Ah no it was a great learner car and dirt cheap to insure and run and gain some experience but not exactly a thrill to drive. You could try get a cheap n/a starlet in same colour as your glanza and swap some bumpers, lights, etc over to make it a bit more interesting. Just an idea.

x2

the time I rang quinn looking for a quote on my v, the first thing they told me that they wouldnt insure me till I was 21, but luckily I was 21 at the time.

I was told the same thing and you would think if anyone might insure you it would be quinn direct but they didnt want to know so I had to forget about the idea till then.

what car did u start off with

mate i've got serious convictions and its 4k to insure a non turbo'd starlet! ... so F**k that no way, gunna wait till insurance comes down, for my first car ima get a impreza 1.6 GL FWD. Shit slow but could make it look like an sti (sti kit, world rally blue paint, gold wheels etc), like i say not the fastest thing, infact, probs realy slow but think what ya mates would be like if u pulled up in an STI! :cool: ... just dont be tempted to race them coz ya would probs get dusted off a corsa in something that heavy with a 1.6 engine! Good for getting experience though as the turbo won't rip your hands off if your in experienced like me! P.S, 28k per year for a Glanza V for me, hehe :rockon:

as they said the only way you can is if you say it non turbo other than that you payin crazy crazy money i am still on da r plates but mine is down as a non turbo and it 900 pounds wat is good but its the risk you take wen you bin your car and they dont pay out

I liked this idea but what happens if the police pull you over, check under the bonnet, and spot the turbo? :confused: whatcha think they'd do mate? i assume do you for no insurance? or would the only way they would do something like this is if you bin your car and then they check it? :eek:

I was wondering how long it would take before the whole insurance fraud thing would turn into a discussion in this thread aswell:)

would'nt risk it anyways, thanks to this forum they talked me outa it. Don't wana get banned again, 2 years felt like a life time =/. Gunna stay legal and build up my no claims then get a Glanza V when the insurance is reasonable. Whatever car i get its guna be over 4k to insure, even a 1.0 corsa.. so just gotta save up my pennies! got an icer account with 4.8k in so far :)
