I'd personally advise against a n/a myself. The insurance difference isn't too great, nor is the initial price difference. Sure there is more stuff to go from, but an N/A is still prone to stuff like the BHG issue. You'll also have to issue of eventually always driving your car and saying "Damn, I wish I waited for a Turbo" . Further more, Manual Turbo cars are getting as rare as hens teeth thanks to the Drift boys obsession with putting 2JZGTE engines in Datsuns, so buy now before they become extinct!

By the way, age is no excuse I'm 18 and am looking to get my grubby mits on a turbo as soon as a good one comes up. When you're young insurance hurts on everything, so you might as well spend the few extra hundred quid and get something that you'll enjoy

i see what your saying, although the n/a isnt as good as the turbo i wager its still pretty quick

also insurance wise, for the n/a its £900 fully comp, 2 years ncb
for the turbo £2000
