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.
That'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".

That's because Type R's only come with 2L engines. Other than the EK9's, the first gen of Type R'S.

The EK9's were only available in a 1.6L engine size.

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.

Modifications double the price of your insurance. So, that would be stupid. Wait a few years before modifying a car.

Then 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.

Stupid idea.

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