as a first car i’ve been told to get an old banger (something around 10years old no rust) low CC’s (engine size) in group 1 insurance but i don’t know what cars would be in group 1 (the lowest insurance cost) i’ve looked online for a list but not found anything substantial

what would you suggest

It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota… First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car – for example here – autoinsurance.maclenet.com

What kind of car details will lower the cost of insurance?

I have to buy a car and the insurance will be costing more than the actual car. Some factors I can’t change like the fact it will be my first year with a full GB licence, my gender, age, where I park it, etc. But when considering the car I will buy, what factors might lower my insurance costs? Keeping in mind my price range for the car is 450-900 pounds,
- what makes/models are hardest/easiest to break into?
- what security devices would make a difference to the cost of my insurance, and how much would they cost?
- what year of car is considered to be built more securely than in the past? (harder to break into…I understand older cars are easier to break into, but what is the general cut-off line of "old"?)
- style or colour of car?
- any other factors?
