I'm looking at getting my first car soon, and was thinking a MK6 Fiesta ZS. My budget is around 2500-4000. I want something that looks cool and won't cost a bomb on insurance. I'd love a Corsa D limited edition but they're out of budget. All it will be for is college commuting, and driving friends around etc. Would a ZS make a good first car, despite it's larger engine (1.6)? Can anyone think of anything better for me?
Also any ideas of what insurance company to go with? Direct line are cheap on a ZS, 2600 but they don't allow mods to my knowledge, as I'll probably want to put new alloys and a sound system in. I tried Adrian Flux but they were 4k+
