    ...new boy on the block!

    Hello, I joined after a bit of advice/knowledge. Im looking at purchasing a Punto 1.2 16v sporting (mrk1) as my first car. I'll be 17/m (everything a insurance company wants to hear )

    Just wondering if you think this is going to be a ''wise'' move, ideally im looking at trying to pay under £2000 for insurance? I love the look of the car, and due to my height it seems pretty ideal. Anyone else made this move/how did you get on?

    Cheers Ben

    Welcome along Ben
    Easy for me to say but why not just go for a standard Punto for the first year..Get some NCD under your belt and then progress up to a Sporting

    Just be careful

    A car is a big commitment you dont want to be paying to much for insurance think you should wait a yr.
