    It's ok, they put little names and symbols on them to help you tell the difference.:D



    What sort of size of car are you looking for to begin with ? Somethign like a micra? next size up? (corrolla, megane, focus etc) bigger again?

    What sort of budget have you?

    If my spidey sense is working

    You currently have a 99 Corsa and you are looking at a 01ish 206.

    Nice car and even better in Royal Blue which most girls go for. Have you considered a mini. They are not as expensive as you may think but a little more expensive than a 01 206.

    How about a 206 CC Convertible hard top. Very nice and this is a good colour. Asking 5500 but Im sure they can do better than that.

    If you're looking to buy a new car then you simply must try the Lexus LS450... it's very quiet!

    You are being smart but is there even an LS450?

    OP based on the budget you said you want to spend, the style of driving you mentioned enjoying/doing, the preference you have for petrol/diesel, the need for an automatic/manual and your current insurance rate I'd suggest you buy the 'pink car'.

    You're right, LS430 would be more like it, or LS600h.

    Ooh good your buying a new car.

    Ok, well we have been having a debate recently as to which is the superior of two cars:

    a) Bugatti Veyron (blue & black)
    b) SSC ultimate aero (gold & black)

    You can settle the debate. Go test drive both and tell us which you want more :)
