Surely for £5k you can think of better cars?
Impreza or evo to start with.
But both of those cars cost a fortune to run and also you pay through the nose for insuranceImpreza or evo to start with.
Mind you I would love a evo
But the glanza is a 1.3 and fantastic on fuel and cheep to repair
Celica GT4s are a good car, reasonable to buy and not bad to insure.
They would make sense if they were far cheaper, but at the money (£3k-£5k) I can't think of a single reason to buy one. If you want a hot hatch the money comfortably buys numerous, quicker, newer, cheaper alternatives like the 306 GTI6, Xsara VTS, Clio 172, 182, Saxo VTS, 106 GTI, etc
If you want to tune and go stupidly fast the budget buys Skylines, Evos, Imprezas, Supras, Soarers, MR2s, GT4s, Aristos, Chasers, Pulsars, 300ZXs, GTOs, 200sxs, etc.
Not to mention the budget already buys cars that will wipe the floor with one in standard form. I doubt even a moderately tuned Starlet would see where a £3k-£5k XJR went on a dual carriageway blast.

I think you will find an impreza 2000 turbo will cost similar to insure to a modded glanza and parts are far more readily available as well as them being far better cars.
My RB5 in 2 years has cost me a set of tyres and brakes which it needed when I brought it, 3 oil changes and i got the gearbox and diff oil changed as well as air and fuel filters, all stuff that is required on any car. For the performance that is very cheap to run and i average 25mpg.

What makes you think they are expensive to run? The 6 month oil changes? Thats less than £100. Or do you just not gave any experience of them?

see thats expensive to run 25mpg a want somthing like 30-35mpg and a starlet could do that if you ant boosting all the time and as for vts,gti,clios dont do french pish lol could have a 106 quicksilver wit a vts engine in it with twin highlift cams and chipped for £400 off ma m8 but its needing a wee bit work done to it and also a want somthing with a dump valve and trust me its gawny cost me alot cheeper to insure a glanza with mods rather than a scooby or i would have 1 I think you will find an impreza 2000 turbo will cost similar to insure to a modded glanza and parts are far more readily available as well as them being far better cars.

Not a chance of you getting 35mpg out of a tuned Starlet sorry. Is it the school holidays?
You won't be able to do that. Right now you're telling yourself you can be disciplined and not drive it on boost all the time, but you won't be able to do that in reality.
35 mpg is probably doable sitting on the motorway at 60ish, but normal driving in a tuned Starlet, not happening.
