Need Advice On Next Car

[Paul Sr]

hi guys im new on here...

i have a real mint standard sr starlet (il put up pics soon) and im keepn it standard.

i think thers no point messn bout with turbo conversions, and that i shud just wait and buy a new car later.

but i cant decide between a twincam.glanza or gt turbo starlet???

what do you guys thinks better?

and note im only 17. but i buy my own cars and insure them myself i dont leave down to mommy and daddy like most the wee racer lads :censor:

thanks guys.......

Hi and welcome!

Best bet is run the SR for a few years and build some no claims.

The difference between a glanza and a GT is really the body shape, the glanza weighs a tad more but has a slightly quicker spooling turbo to compensate, and has boost restriction in 1st and 2nd gear

As above but the biggest factor is insurance. The GT is well catered for (elephant and the usuals) whereas the Glanza is still not popular and alot of companys dont know what it is or wont cover you untill your 25+ :(

can i not get away with buying a glanza with 1.3 non turbo on the book?

[Big_g]

if you want but jailbait. If you get found out they wont pay out

Hi

Stick with the starlet sr and build up ur no claims and get some good driving experience !! then go for starlet/glanza!!

Starlet GT is the old shape and glanza is like the sr shape but with the Turbo off course!!

Ps i still drive a starlet 1.3 and also have a glanza in the garage!!

Car looks well but learn to use English rather then text speak!

And don't be stupid insuring it as anything except the actual car it is!

[Paul Sr]

im not trying to be stupid. but at my age i cant insure a glanza

even fully comp. insurance on a sr is very pricey!!!

If you can't insure it then don't buy it

Build up another years no claims and then look for a Glanza/faster car.

Having a fast car to soon will only end in tears.

i know your ryt but 2-3 years is a long time

i love glanzas shape and custom tuning.

but the old gts are cool and classic
