Sr's & Sri's are quick enough.
I loved both my sr and sri, it handled so well and not one of my mates cars could keep up with it.
Was gutted now that ive sold it :cry:
you will be best with a smaller engine car to run around in and get used to becasue your bound to have a small bump or a big one in your first year or two of driving, then atleast it wont be a mojr disastor on all the money you have spent,
a freind of mine is 19, he currently drives a escort cosworth. now to be fair it isnt on his own policy as his dad owns a garage so he is on the garages traders policy, but he has had a quote on that for around 4.5k and he lives in a low risk postcode area and has a garage too with a years no claims. so i would expect to be paying around that mark..
the nova price will go up due to a few things....
number 1 is a big iffy in insurance.... ENGINE CONVERSIONS, purely that on its own sends it flying.
number 2... your young, instantly up again
and number 3,, its a nova. notoriously known for boy racers and high car at risk to be stolen due to how easy they are to steal.
hope thast helped :D
At 19 (3years ago) I was paying 700

Im not even considering an engine up grade untill next year when i will have (touch wood) 2 years NCB and a pass plus when it might just be possible.
Wouldn't even bother mate, as already mentioned get a 1.3SR, ins group 5 and 0-60 in 10 secs, plenty fast enough for a 17 year old, I'm 19 and have a 1.4 SR and I find it quick enough for me.You've got another 40 years (if you're lucky) of messing with fast cars.
ive already had a sri with about 90/100bhp and yes it was pretti fun to drive but, the only thing im worried about is fuel and herd how much they spin....if the power aint down then there ****e!!
well looking for a 1.0 up to a sri, and doing that up everytime i get a bit of money in my pocket!
so i will be driving it, while modifiying it and rebuilding an xe engine!!
Ah right, apologies dude, I should take more notice of usernames lol
I've already spun my SR it's far too easy, lift off oversteer = **** scary lol
