next year providing i stay with the same insurance mine is only £1000 (at the moment ovously may change over the next 5 months) that will be with 1 year no claims, filter, remap, exhaust ad prated breaks. i didnt think this was too bad for when im 18. at the moment i have no mods and its around 2k. i live in weymouth, dorset. in the lowest risk band.


The Clio didn't as it's naturally aspirated and French  :sick:  :laugh:

go for the 1.8t mate im 17 and have a 1.8 t. try e-car insurance. i have had a non fault accident aswell and they were so helpful!! would reccomend to anyone!

Seriously, how much are you paying, and is the insurance in YOUR name?  :huh:
probably most likely on a parents policy, on my own policy with my dad a mk4 1.4 e is £2,400, but i'm 18 not 17, insurance would be about £4k on a 1.8t, it's £3,800 on a mk2 gti 8v

yes the insurance is in my name and i am the only driver buddy, i had a 1.4 corsa sport but 3 months after i passed my test some muppet ran up my arse, got £1200 for my corsa which was a right result as i only paid £800 in the 1st place haha and unfortunatly my granddad died 3 days after the crash, got some money from him and decided to splash out abit. it was £1500 for the corsa and i had 8months insurance left till renewal so changed the car over and paid an evtra £550 so a total of £2050. not to bad in my opinion  when my mate is paying £2350 for a 1.6 zetec-s haha


Who are you insured with? Is that a limited milage policy? Third party only?

Not to question it, but even though it's a lot of money, that still seems really cheap for a recently passed test driver and a high ins group car  :huh:

Or get the 1.6 16v - much more insurance friendly, and pretty much the same power (i've owed both and couldn't really tell them apart).

Had to chuckle at only paying £1473 pounds for insurance. That sucks dude.

Points though. Sheeeeeeet. What for? You're just 3 points for being banned now aren't you? Hope you're driving like a saint  :grin:

Is it limited milage, and what's the cover - 3rd party only?

You sure they know it's a 1.8t?

You're bloody lucky getting a policy for that money  :smiley:
