hey guys, well...

last night i bought a car :)

but you lot are gonna hate me and slate me :nerv:

pug 106..

IM SORRY!

:angry:
 
Fair play for getting a car and getting onto the road.:nice:. From reading your other posts your only 17 so its the right car for you. Get some experience and in a year or 2 you can move up to a honda :clap:
 
"hate" you? no way!
Learn on your pug, not on a civic/honda. you will save money too.
 
Congrats with the car :D It's not like Honda is the only way :) Have fun with it.
 
learn from the pug on how to drive-then you will appreciate what a Honda can do
 
as said mate, best to learn in something like that then progress to a honda later on, I had a 106 for my first car also :)
 
Exactly
Hondas are made to be loved and to enjoy driving them :)
When you first pass and get a car your to worried of damaging it to enjoy it properly anyway
You don't wanna ruin your first Honda experience with worrying now do you
 
congrats on gettin on the road mate, you can get yourself a honda in a year or 2 :)
 
in all honesty mate you've gone about it the right way.if i had my time again i would have gotten something french and good on insurance and built up a couple of years no claims. faster cars will come and it's gonna be easier with ncb under your belt. 106's handle well and have good aftermarket support from the likes of pugsport so you could have chosen fair worse cars
 
haha you seem genuinely concerned mate lol.

An insurance quote for an ek9 at 17 years old would probably be like 15k or something :lol:

The wee pugs are ideal 1st cars, all the best with it man :nice:
 
congrats withe the car mate as said for ur first car will be a good run a round and when u get some more experience move over the years nad then buy a civic

There good little cars bar the rear axel's, iv had 4 of them mate :) fairly good handling,light weights, and you can get them pretty quick

Good luck!
 
I had a 106 as a first car. Yes, it was french and slow but it gave me less hassle in 3 years than my Civic in 1 year lol. They handle much nicer than my EK4 but the engines and gearboxes in Hondas are miles better, plus EK's are a lot comfier and spacious. I would however though love to see what a B16'd 106 is like one day though. :)
 
I had a Pug 306 Diesel for my first car....Pugs are reliable and solid cars....good way to get into the car scene...
 
Well I know loads o people's who started off with smaller cars
And now theyre driving RX7's, EP3's. You gotta strt somewhere right? Just keep your head down n collect the ncd and in a year or two's time. You'll be rocking it :nice:
 
My first car was a Citroen Xsara 1.9 Diesel NON TURBO, your's will hardly be slower than that :) Then I got an MG ZR after that and I thought that Glasgow must have been bombarded over night, because in the Citroen you couldn't feel any potholes or bumps whereas the mg was quite hard, the French are hard to beat when it comes to comfort! BTW, as all guys above said, better start with something slow, I wrote off my grandads car when I was 18, because 6 months after passing my test I already thought I was getting better than Colin McRae... Even tho this is going to sound extremely stupid, I wish everyone had crashed when they were 18 with only the car being damaged and no one getting hurt, as it was the best thing that happen to me, really!
Anyway, wish you many happy miles, keep the car stock as that way it will retain its value and also allow you to save up for the Honda!
 
dude Pug is cool learn on it get some exp

then in a year or two u can join honda

LOL
 
OP as others have said right now any set of wheels is a good start to building up your experience and no claims. Insurance for new drivers is a killer so save up your cash and put it away for when you've hopefully got a couple of years no claims and are more skilled behind the wheel. As for the "French" comments some people make it's utter ****, I've owned 3 French cars in the past including the supposedly abysmal GT Turbo and every single one was bulletproof.

Oh and don't waste cash modding the pug just put it away for the Honda.
