sure it will be gutless(like most 1st cars), but great choice of 1st car!
congrats on passing your test btw

the 1.2 turbo is supposed to be awful.
1.4 16v would be the way to go, might be pricey to insure as a first car tho.

Don't think it's too bad to insure. I've had 'mock' quotes done on it (i'm 17 and in the process of saving up/buying) and most come in under £2k, so a more detailed/ over-the-phone jobby would probably bring some lower prices.

yeah u might find a good deal.
2k to insure a 1.4 16v is expensive in my book tho, lol.
my first car was a mk2 ph1 1.4 8V sport and cost me £1200 to insure.

Good point mate just that i know that out of town my car has to be worked hard to make progress, joining dual carraigeways/motorways etc
With the MK3 being a fair bit heavier it was just a bit of advice that a slightly bigger engine would make everyday progress a bit easier.
My 1.2 is actually alright when you thrash it but you don't want to have to be hitting 6K rpm all the time for the sake of the engine and all the petrol it uses, its fun when you do tho
LOOOOL iv got a 1997 1.2 clio panache n its costing me 215 a month which is like 2400 a year i think

they saw you coming!! my first car was a saxo 1.4 which was 1900 for a year when i passed my test but i got my 53 plate clio 1.4 16v virtually 1 month after and that was abooot 1700 iirc with business use and 8000 annual mileage
Try Endsleigh for insurance. Managed to get mine down from about £2200 online quote to £1800 after saying someone else had quoted me £1900!! That was on my 1st car which was group 13 insurance. Moved down to a Megane Coupe 1.6 now which is about £1400 to insure - still 17 and 1st year of driving

just gave them a try. they quoted me £1900 for my car full comp.I'm only paying £726 for the same, if not better cover (as it includes legal, personal injury and courtesy car etc and they cover me to drive any other car with the owners permission) with swiftcover.
Best thing to do is wack your details on moneysupermarket.com and see whats on offer (thats how I found swiftcover was the cheapest for me, despite doing individual quotes on other sites)

Bloody hell on a mk1 1.2. Take it your 17.
Mind you my mates paying £2000 tpft on a 1.4 8v 206 worth £1600 as a NAMED DRIVER. Jesus £2000 for fronting, rather not.

Forgot to mention that I added my mum as a named driver which brought it down about £150 iirc
