Was my first proper car so just wanted it to look good and insurance was £2500 so wasn't too bad for 17.
You're the same age as me (20) and I felt ripped off paying £1350 in my first year!! (1.2 2001 Corsa C) I would never pay more than £1500 on principle!The ibiza's are far nicer though, and the torque just makes me grin constantly!
thinking about getting some for mine.
