Im Stan and live in a small town called Dumfries in the south west of Scotland, and i first introduced myself last year sometime, when i was looking at purchasing an E30.
Well, that didnt happen, and i've since found myself with a fairly long string of Vauxhalls. Hey, its happens to the best of us. . . . .
Anyhoo, the time has come again, like any sane red blooded male, to consider purchasing one again.
Basically what id like to know is what engines to avoid etc. Bodywork is pretty obvious as my Vauxhall history has taught me.
Im 22 with a non-clean license (sounds better that way). I commute to work which is less than 3miles away, through town.
I like the look of the 325 for obvious reasons, but i fear that insurance and general day-to-day running costs may cripple me.
What are 318is's like in respect of reliability and fuel economy?
Also any further pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks hombres.
And just for fun, heres a funny picture of a cat

Much love, Stan.
