By the time you are my age £4500 will be cheap for a 17 year old

I paid £700 to insure my first car which was an Escort 1.1 it then dropped to its lowest at £300 two years ago on a 2.0 golf.
On the same car its now going up to £800 with no accidents or claims

I think most teenagers will be on the bus or mums taxi well into their twenties soon, as insurance costs spiral ever skywards
Save up and buy a house, abouth the only thing worth buying these days.....
