Hi and welcome. All the reviews point it towards being a bit thirsty for what it is. For a first car I would say it would be a good buy especially if your after a subaru as their cheap to insure. Get a few years no claims under your belt and move up to a 2.0 na. Then on to a turbo! Good luck.

Wotcha and welcome - yup power to weight ratio is a bit down so you may find it a bit thirsty but if your insurance gives you no option it is a compromise - keep us posted
