like dan said id get an insurance qoute first because the myth that your insurance comes down at 21 is unfortunatley not true or at 25 for that matter

unmodded 180 should do 29mpg IIRC a modded one 20-25mpg maybe less

tank to fill easily ?70 they have a 55 litre tank

if it turns out you can afford one look out for cambelts as they have to be done at 6 years old or 90k which ever comes first and its around ?500 to do......defective Vis valves which cost nothing to replace as theyre easily repairable and a tappy plenum(new ?500 2nd hand anywhere from ?150 to ?250 depends really)

Those are the only problems you get dont listen to anybody who says "oooo ya head gasket gone yet" because they just dont go on the 180 its like a 1 in a milion chance it will

HTH's mate
