PLEASE TAKE ON BOARD THAT I WILL BE 18 WHEN I GET THIS CAR ( 1 years NCB )
Looking for a second car, I was looking at diesels and after putting it all into place, I'm not doing many motorway miles so it seems stupid to buy a 1.9 Fiat Punto Grande..

I want a modern car, but not a car that will have huge insurance premiums, with the 1.9 Punto I got a £1500 quote

However instead of a diesel, could I get a fast petrol car such as a t-jet which lower MPG But however lower insurance

Please take on board that you now have four threads on this same subject. Could you stick to one of those?

At 18 you won't get cheap insurance, a fast car won't have good MPG.

I'm not talking about a M3, talking about quick little petrol a such as t-jets, which has average MPG and is quick enough for a second car

Suzuki Swifts are pretty nippy and should be reasonable on insurance for an 18 year old.

You're probably looking for a 125 two-stroke.

Otherwise, the car you want does not exist.

Instead of getting two cars, why don't you get one that isn't an embarassment to pistonheads

Bit boring, not as nice to drive as any of the cars on that list. It's a Corsa D in a Fiat frock, as are all Grande Puntos.
