The number of valves makes a difference!
8v group 14, 16v group 16.

Yeah I don't take much notice, my last car was an RS Clio 172 which is group 31, I was 18 when I had that and insurance was cheaper than my mate on a 1 litre polo.... Same no claims, lives over the road lol insurance is a lottery tbh

I bought the 8v as a cheap run around and the insurance was comparable to a focus 1.6 so im not sure how much insurance groups really matter

doesnt a lot of it depend on where you live ,ie the postcode .As some areas are considered more prone to car theft than others
