wish my insurance was that cheap m8, insurance for young blokes on normal policies is always expensive cuz its a high risk age group.

dont ever consider gettin a GTI then cuz i think youd have a nervous breakdown at the quotes!

'Bell' this year was literally half the amount of every other company on my 8v but putting my 16v back on the road soon bumped my insurance back over a grand

B*st*rds

even at 23?? i thaught the saying was past 21 and your in the clear for cheaper insurance?? ive found a good site bout cheap quotes, and done some serious looking, ive got it down into the 500's.
best companies so far seem to be endsleigh, bell, quinn, tesco.

im driving a modified 1.4 mk3, driving for 2 years, 1 ncd, no accidents and im on like 800 a year..

It might be worth modifying it, even if its just an air filter or wheels because the modified policy may be cheaper than standard:?: Give it a go with martin..

HIC were the cheapest by far for me

My insurance scraped in under £1k Sad

Wish it was only £600 - same as yourself I have no no-claims but not quite been driving for 2 years yet. I'm 23 driving a Mk1 1.8 cabrio (non gti).

I'm with Adrian Flux but I think Brentacre or Greenlight are supposed to be really good too and obv HIC, though I think you might have to have at least 1 years no claims for Brentacre?

I think you pretty much just get raped till you're 25 if you drive anything bigger than 1 litre...
