Yeah I think I'll end up getting a 1.4. I'm gonna have to pay a lot for insurance and the difference between a 1.0 and 1.4 isn't much so it doesn't really matter. Thanks Yeah I think Lupos look like a really good first car, and not too common like a lot of first cars haha. Oh and I don't know if this topic helps about your cupholder cover; http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=62782 - looks like it should be no. 35 on there.

Yeah I've looked at Quinn. On a 1.4 insurance is about £2400, but if I use the postcode of a side street just a bit down the road from me, it goes down to around £1800. I'm guessing it's cause this is a really long lane.. so I thought if I rang them up and said I kept it in a garage, which I will, the insurance might go down a bit. But yeah Quinn's still the cheapest I've found so far. And thanks for the cup holder info haha, couldn't understand why some Lupos had them and some didn't.

Hey, I'm Rob. I'm gonna start learning to drive in April, and I was thinking of getting a Lupo as my first car. I did want a 1.4, but I think I might have to have a 1.0 instead 'cause of the insurance. Was thinking of modifying it a bit as well (not too much- just wheels, and coilovers), but I don't think I'll be able to because of how much the insurance goes up. I was wondering if any of you had one for a first car, and modified it, what you did about the insurance? Also, which models have cup holders? Haha I looked through the spec thread, but I couldn't tell if it was just the early Lupos that came without or only the S models got them or what. Thanks
