    All the cars i really want are about 6-7k so i thought it's better to save and wait rather than just make do

    Whats your 330 like to run Beau? As i've had insurance quotes and it's not too much more than i'm paying now
    if you genuinely do want to save up for a better car, then get something like a punto jtd, reliable, cheap and will give 40mpg round town and 50 on a run, and a £200 remap will make it 130bhp (they are quick!)

    you wont save with a gt, they drink fuel and need heavy maintanince.


    i paid less than what you've got yours up for, for my 330, was standard then but it is a 330 and a proper sport, so you can get them cheap if you shop around- oh and that was 12 months ago now too.

    my 330's obc says i get average 16mpg (round town with heavy foot) on a run it will get 35+. they are great to drive too, not being harsh lol, but i work with bmw's and when i have to drive a 318, i think oh for **** sake, bloody things feel like the engines seriously broken take a 330 for a spin and you will be impressed im sure.

    I'm only after a GT as i've always wanted one and they're cheap to buy. I've driven a 330 before and they are 10x better than the 318's lol
    Ideally i want a facelift model so will need 6k + easy ... thats why i'm going to save for a year or so. I know what you mean though Beau i won't be able to save much with a GT but over the next year i will be getting a pay rise as i qualify my apprenticeship.
