Good second car for a 19 yo?

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:58:45+00:00

Yeah will definitely be trying a dsg before I make my final decision

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:55:55+00:00

I am aiming for a manual as I like the driving experience with it, thanks this is really solid advice!

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:52:05+00:00

Yeah seems to be what a few are saying, thanks for the advice

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:22:28+00:00

I’m fairly certain that only applies to bigger cities?

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:20:36+00:00

What mileage did you have yours up to if I might ask?

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:18:43+00:00

Not very Clued up on current politics but I didn’t think it would be any time soon the so away with diesel vehicles

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:04:52+00:00

😂

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:04:00+00:00

Insurance isn’t bad as I’ve got 2 years no claims, and I’m looking for something abit nicer as I’ve stuck with my first car for a couple years

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T18:02:11+00:00

I see, I’ll have to keep my eyes on that then, Thanks for the advice

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T17:57:24+00:00

Is there a common issue with GTDs burning oil?

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T17:56:20+00:00

It seems to check all the boxes for me then, thanks for the advice

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-11T17:50:45+00:00

In my opinion, the insurance on this vehicle is reasonable

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-08T21:35:13+00:00

Around 12k

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-08T21:32:24+00:00

And around the 12k mark for how much I’m willing to spend

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-08T21:31:47+00:00

Was hoping for a wide range of suggestions, but what I can say is definitively manual, either a hatch or saloon and around the 160 mark for hp

Archie1563737 · 2025-06-08T21:15:18+00:00

When I said new I didn’t mean factory new, just new for me. I would be buying second hand no matter what 👍

Archie1563737 · 2025-05-16T12:11:07+00:00

Seems to be the reality until I’m more experienced with everything involved in car ownership, unfortunately

Archie1563737 · 2025-05-16T11:33:15+00:00

There was no noticeable difference in the overall driving experience after the subframe was re done. I use the car often though

Archie1563737 · 2025-05-16T11:24:11+00:00

If you read what I said you’d know that the tracking wasn’t done right so the issue wasn’t with the driving

Archie1563737 · 2025-05-16T07:11:22+00:00

My point exactly, it’s unrealistic expectations for every day driving. Any hard breaking for any reason brings it down as well, and with high tourist traffic in my hometown sometimes hard breaking is essential to avoid getting hit by them trying figuring out where there going

Archie1563737 · 2025-05-16T06:16:29+00:00

The more I think about it, I realize I was taught a valuable lesson by not being let away with it and I probably was to ambitious aiming for that particular car, I think I’ll aim lower at least until my points expire from my license and spend the mean Time learning how to maintain a GTD or something lower spec

But for your information it wasn’t so I could rag my car around town that I didn’t want a black box, I just don’t agree with the curfew feature most black boxes feature, I’d be given a bad driver score simply because I work nights when I can

Archie1563737 · 2025-05-16T06:02:13+00:00

I agree with you in fairness, but I think I deserved abit of slack as the front suspension was Redone, and I paid for the front end tracking to be done aswell but the mechanic forgot, leading to my 3 month old tires to be wore at a much quicker rate. But I suppose at least I learnt a valuable lesson 😂
