Sterry 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 my friends got on and hes 17 (he does off roading) and hes been quted £4300 for 3rd party. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samearl14 11 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 They are supprisingly good little trucks off road. Obviously the little engine isnt that powerful and you wouldnt want one if you were just going to use it on the road. Cope well off road due to the fact they are light weight. They are noisey, bumpy and unstable in my opinon. But i know some people love them! Although the engine is small they can be quite expensive to insure as they are very easy to steal! Im only 19 so i know what its like being a young driver. I had a 2.8 non turbo fourtrak for my first car, and the insurance was quite good at £1200. I prefered a powerful diesel engine but then thats just me. Hope this may have been helpful? ATB Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
