what car to go for next ??

Hi all right ive just got my years no claims, and im looking for a new car ive got 3 cars in mind:

1. Focus 1.6 3dr

2. Golf

3. Or Suzuki Ignis 1.5 Sport ?

I dont know much about the suzukis ? Obviously there reliable cose there jap, but just wondered how much bits are for them and what not ?. And are they any good ? Quick ?

Any advice would be great cheers

not focus...personnally i think the 1.6 is poo and cant pull its own weight... golf? which one.. mk4's can look good and you could get a 1.4 in white.. i know there slow but they look slick. failing that i know a girl that might be selling her red mk2...standard except coilovers.

they are pretty quick and will suprise most people!! parts arent too easy to come by and arent too cheap but they can be found.. deff worth taking into consideration!!

basically i was just wondering how much a decent exhaust would be ? and how much roughly are things like a service kit and what not ? cheers

Exhaust - Scorpion are about the best in terms of value for money (in terms of off the shelf) - approx £300 new, delivered for a cat back or about £140 for a back box that sits before the rear axle (due to lack of space)

Or you can get the likes of a suzuki sport titanium imported through MONSTER SPORT in milton keynes but you'll be looking £600 upwards for a decent one! Then there's always custom made like MIJ in walsall (QUALITY work!) or powerflow(if you're happy to waste money on a shitty exhaust lol)


Servicing - As with most cars, stay clear of suzuki main dealerships. Majority of the rest of suzuki drivers (grand vitara drivers, alto drivers etc) are all eligible for a buss pass so suzuki know they can swindle the old people and bump their prices up for such little work!!!
I've always bought my bits and bobs from OPIE OILS and either done it myself or paid a garage to do the work. Totally depends on how much you get charged for labour but the oil, plugs, filters etc are all average prices similar to what a 2003 fiesta would cost for example. Nice and cheap. Service intervals are every 9,000 miles and when it comes to the dreaded cambelt change like most cars, dont worry as these are chain driven and normally good for 150,000+ miles if looked after. There's a 2005 one in portugal on over 300,000 miles and still runs as sweet as a nut!!!

I could waffle on for blinkin ages dude but if you go on the owners site, you'll be able to get everything answered
Drop me a pm if you need any more help

(oh and where abouts you based? Could take mine out for a spin if you wanted! )

Cheers for the advice is it the ignis sport owners club that you are on ?

Im a trainee mechanic mate so im alright at doing servicing and what not lol,

theres one on the ingnis sport owners club (a red one with black rims) with a scorpian backbox just wondered if that was any good if youve seen it ?

Im based in wellesbourne mate near stratford, just wondering if you know Monster Matt ?
