stupid expensive to insure for what they are and horribly unsafe in the event of a crash

Look for accident damage, service history, do a HPI check to make sure it isn't nicked or has outstanding finance or has been in an accident, get an expert to look over it (RAC/AA mate who's a mechanic etc) also get a bog standard non chavved up one.

They look a hell of a lot nicer than there replacements. The new C3's look like Micra's to me. Hideous.
I don't mind them too much, not as chavvy as Corsa's.

Gearboxes are always an issue with saxos. Apart from the fact they're not particularly quick, and don't handle very well, and don't survive well in a crash!
but the biggest issue is that you'll look like a proper chav. So why not go the whole hog get it painted burberry.
Slapbassmunky is right, if you want the craziest hatch there ever was, get the pug 205 GTi - those things are damned fun, and will still whip the arse off of most anything modern if you're into racing.
Alternatively, if you just want a quick, fun, cheap car (and you can find one) get a renault 5 <b>GTX</b>, not GT-turbo. They've got a 1700 engine, and go like stink, but because they're relatively rare and are a 5-door, they're stupidly cheap to insure.

I know a Nova is even more chavvy than a saxo, but my mate has just put a 2 litre redtop engine in his, and fu[url][/url]cking hell does that thing fly!
205 GTi would be nice, make sure it's a 1.9.
Clio 16v?

...and you think Saxo's are unsafe??
I'd never get a Renault 5, or 205, most of them are at the dump. There is a reason for this, they are old and rusty as sh*t.

a peugeot 205 gti is one of the best hot hatches ever but like any cars of that age if you crash you die. but it has been quoted as having the best handling apart from the focus0

if you're 17/18 then I doubt you will insure any of the cars mentioned for less than œ2000. money down the toilet

saxo - tins on wheels, same with a 106, i crashed one and it was fuuucckkked, get soemthing safer!0

im 17 and was planning on buying a 205 gti from a scrap yard and fixing it up for fun. but then i found that the cheapest insurance quote was œ4000 so that idea went out the window0

At that age, with that little experience do you really need a car like that? I don't think it's a good idea, I drive and am 17. You can have fun in just about any car anyway.

Of course you should care about a cars safety. It's your life you are managing!
You don't need a powerful/fast car anyway. Never do you. Pretty much any car will do, especially for your first car. You want something that doesn't go fast easily, else you'll find yourself in a hedge sooner than you think.
The only time you need a "specific" vehicle is:
Farming
Military
Road Haulage
And even then, none of those vehicles are particularly fast.
New drivers at 17 are very likely to not be in any of those categories.0 -
Don't crash it.
Don't buy one thats had any modifications done to it.
Buy a fiesta.

you may as well hang a rubber penis off your forehead , clad yourself in burberry and send a card to everyone you know, telling them you are a tit.
i hope you are going to put neons under it so everyone can spot you are a chav from miles away.

BullSheit, are you honestly saying you can't judge a person from their car. Why do yuo think car stereo-types exist. Of course there are exceptions, but people buy cars that suit their lifestyles, fashions and interests, so cars very much reflect the drivers

This has been said many a time:
Get a pug 205 gti. Faster and better handling. Look nicer.
