What are some faster cars available in the UK which have relatively low insurance costs.
I am 20 years old so cars such as Imprezas where the insurance is 4000+ is too much.
Are there any cars in the 1500-2000 insurance cost (3rd party fire and theft) which are usually cheaper to insure?
Thanks
Hi,
The Ford Focus ZX3 and ZX5 are sporty, have 5 speeds and handle great. Plus, they are known for being fast and are good on gas. Great economy car but age appropriate. You can get in that price range and they are inexpensive to insure. I have owned both and loved them!
Hope this helps.
I’m looking to get myself a car for one year as soon as i pass my test so i can get a no claims bonus. what car would be best to buy (used) what year (reliable or not too difficult to keep maintained by me alone.)
It needs to have a low monthly running cost and be almost guaranteed to survive without major (>150) parts replacement over the year.
and it needs to be in a low insurance group.
Pretty much anything would do you really. For low tax and insurance, try and stay under a 1.4l engine, if you can get a 1l, that would be even better. Any English model such as ford or vauxhall will be cheap to repair as you can get spares for these easily from your local scrap yard.
One thing I found, as a young driver- having a 4 door car as opposed to a 2 door car put my insurance down as it was considered more of a family car. Also, shop around for insurance, these online comparison sites are very good but I found going through my yellow pages and calling local unknown brokers got me cheaper quotes too.
Hope that helps, even a little.
