yeah you're not wrong - But my current car cost me £1200 about 9 months ago, £130 to tax, does the fuel consumption i mentioned, just passed its first MOT with me without any problems and has loads of life left. I'm a bit concerned about getting something less reliable

Hi Everybody :) I'm Jake, 17 from the South West and currently looking at Volvo 360s. I currently drive a Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 16v, which is my first car and I love it, but I fancy something older with better tuning potential and have always had a soft spot for the 300 series.
