Made a thread yesterday about getting a first car for docu filmmaking/long distance travel/rough country driving purposes, so good fuel economy and 4wd are important

Thread tiemd out before a conclusive answer was found

So, what are my best choices for around £1000?

Would a Subaru Impreza 2.0 GX 4dr be ok, or would insurance be too high? I'm a 22 year old male, if that matters
Or should I go for a Mini 1.6 Cooper for £900 because of the excellent fuel economy, as I will be on a tight budget?
Or something entirely else?

pls help

Impreza is probably way out of your budget, if you really really want a Subaru I'd look for a cheap Legacy(4WD and better fuel economy for less money).

well in the UK the 2.0 gx used goes for £700-£1600 usually, I found one in good condition for £1100
>>
>>17581196
will check out the Legacy though, thanks

>>17581199
Shit nigger then jump on it. In the US the price of Imprezas are inflated to shit because of racerboys.

>>17581205
my only reservation with regards to it is that an anon yesterday mentioned insurance cost might be quite high for it, not sure how to find out exactly what it would be

and that the fuel economy is not the best
other than that, it seems pretty good

>>17581208
Well weight your concerns, Legacy would usually be more cheap, have lower insurance, and higher fuel economy and the Impreza would presumably be more expensive, have higher insurance, worse fuel economy, but be more fun/valuable.

Oddly enough the Legacys I find on autotrader have worse mileage than the impreza...
>>
>>17581242
turns out insuring the subaru for a year would cost me £10k, so that is gonna be a no no
>>
have you thought about Forester ?
seems like a better option than impreza or legacy
not sure how much they cost in your country, but in mine its possible to get one with turbo for less than 1k £

Get a hatchback-based van

If you're not bullshitting about the film part you'll need a fuckton of cargo space and reasonable running costs. Insurance should be cheap as well.

It doesn't really matter what brand you choose, but make sure you get a passenger version that was used as a family car. These usually have more options and the commercial white van variants are always on their last legs anyway.

Semi related: Minis have fuck all ground clearance and no suspension travel whatsoever. Just so you know.

OP here
Filming in Lithuania, so I'd be doing most driving there
Turns out you're not allowed to drive an imported car with a right hand side steering wheel for more than 90s days there, so i guess i'll be buying a car once i'm there
insurance and tax should be cheaper there too
i hear they have quite a lot of cheap bmw's, probably stolen from germany
