Re: What car do you drive now?
Well, personally I wouldn't consider buying anything smaller than 2.5L. You get 1.3 in the Ka? WTF is a Ka anyways? We don't even get that. lol. 1.3? My bike will have a bigger engine! I want a 1.6L Harley.
My friend's family (whose cars I drive occasionally) has a Corvette (C5) 5.7L V8, and a Dodge RAM truck (8L V8).
He learnt to drive on this car. He even went to the tests in this car. (It is the older brother of the guy getting the 1962 Cadillac.)

Re: What car do you drive now?
This is the KA sport
This is a bog standard KA
was thinking of getting one of these as my first car as the engine is so small it brings down your insurance quite a bit and since my insurance will probably cost more monthly than my scooter itself costs then every penny saved is important.

Re: What car do you drive now?
We get stung allot of $$$ for unleaded petrol (and high insurance rates) here in the UK thats the reason for smaller cc cars.
[Note to self[/I]
i have to remember to fill the tank b4 Xmas/new year as the 24hr petrol stations aint 24hrs here over the festive season.

Re: What car do you drive now?
OK here's my baby...good old economical 4.0L. Just to put it into perspective, a £65 tank of fuel lasts for 225 miles in town, 350 on the motorway.
And before the antyi SUV clan kick off, i do have a good reason for owning it.

Re: What car do you drive now?
Well, here's a site with some pics of an almost identical car to mine - a renault clio sport 172 - Mines an import, brand new on an 04 plate - I can't wait till I get it to 625 miles on the clock - the manual says i have to keep it to 3000-3500 revs for the first 625 miles, then I can open it up - Its nigh on impossible to stick to this though - it just wants to go and go and go....
Clio 172
(BTW, its a 2 litre 16 valve )
