It seems everyone is waiting to get older so they can pay less, I wish I could pay more and be younger.

The insurance company will see your lack of experience and put you in the 'high risk' catagory. As many drivers or even people who dont drive will testify to, age does NOT make you a better driver, experience does. The 80 year old women that drive around every 6 months, never driven in their lives etc, may have age on their side, but dont have experience, therefore I would say, as a general rule, that they wouldnt be as good of a driver as say a 30 year old, been driving everyday since the day they turned 17... Insurance is a mindfield, my insurance is horrendous, 21, 3 years ncb, Vauxhall Corsa 1.2, £90pm! Disgusting, but Im just waiting and waiting because every year it gets a little less! Patience is the key!! Hope you passed!! Good luck - Driving is the BEST thing that ever happened to me, the freedom, the wonder! A true Godsend. Hannah P.S - No offence to all the 80 year old drivers, Im sure you're great and I would never want to tar you all with the same brush. Just an example, Im sure you understand? :) Hi Joanne,

I'm 21 and go out camping and climbing on the weekends, that's why i have an estate to pack all my stuff in the back. Before i had this car i had a 2001 Peugeot 106 1.0 Zest. Great car to drive but as i was 17 at the time it was quite expensive.... £2800 to be precise and its even funnier if you think that the car was only £750. But anyway, the point of this is that my friend at the time who was 17 (Who now lives abroad) had a Fiat Seicento SX which he got for £495, he got a quote for only £1200!!! I was amazed...

It may be 30 years old in the industry already but it is just a proof that it is tested over time. The ford fiesta is a very functional car.

Even with one year NCB, 18 year olds are considered very 'high risk' to insure. Hi Russell,

It’s the age that’s the biggest factor when it comes to your policy, as opposed to the car. Even with one year NCB, 18 year olds are considered very ‘high risk’ to insure.

It is reasonably quick and with enough space to not really need any more - but it's not what you'd call agile. Lukewarm hatch is how I'd describe it. I'm debating with myself whether I should buy an MX-5 to do up as a race car or keep my monies saved up and buy an old Porsche or TVR. So, two cars or one - not sure which it's to be yet. When my Astra gets to 100,000 on the clock though I might just splash out on the mental VXR version - something I may well be test driving soon...

The SX4 is alright - we needed a cheap, five door car and it's mostly my wife that uses it and she loves it. What are you driving? Yeah I liked my little metro!
