I want to save up and get a cheap but sportier car and start to run solo II. The fc caught my eye and I have some random questions about it.

1. What's insurance like on an n/a for a 17 year old with a clean record?

2. How reliable are they in general?

3. Are they four seaters. (Not necessary, but I couldn't get a straight answer in the [H]ard|Forums.)

 

Welcome to the forum

1. Insurance won't be too bad, especially if you only cover bare minimums (not sure if you have a daily driver as well)
2. They're fairly reliable (NAs) if you get it from someone who knew how to treat it. There's plenty of posts on what to look for in buying a used FC.
3. The NAs came both as a 2+2 (barely useable backseat) and a 2-seater. You can convert between the two with a little time and money.

PS. The Hard Forums is a computer forum from what I've gathered, so chances are you have ALOT better chances of getting info here.

 

The [H] has a nice general car forum that's generally pretty helpful, but it trainwrecks fast and gets off topic.
