ADPT wroteThat's a lot to put towards your first car. Most people spend around the £2000-2500 mark, including insurance. If you like classics, have a look at Mk2 Jettas. I'm assuming as you want something "sporty", you're not interested in hatchbacks? You would probably be able to get a nice Seat Leon within your budget.. they're nice cars and fast(ish) as they're not too heavy but don't look particularly "sporty".Bonfires wrote I doubt your find something which is sporty, and get cheap insurance in the UK.
Try looking on EBAY for some 1 litre cars, and just look for one that you find is 'sporty'.
I guess i should of gave a budget, When i said cheap im willing to splash out the little bit. Im willing to spend around 7000.

Vauxhall Corsa, mod it up a bit to make it look sporty and put a bigger exhaust on it. You will have leftover money for insurance and modifications.

ViSteeIzZBeasTx wrote don't tell the insurance about the small modifications like the exhaust etcThen if you're pulled over by police or make a claim(which the majority of new drivers do), then the insurance can refuse to pay out or even have your car taken off you(as far as I'm aware).

It's just a risk you have to take unless you wait until you're older so the insurance is cheaper.

If you get pulled over by police, thats your butt gone. Just get a old car, like a Mk1 Golf, or similar cars?
