Boring repeat thread :rasp: Just do what everyone else does:
* Drive a crap car for a while
* Wait till you're older
Yes, insurance is a shame, but what makes you think you deserve to be able to insure a decent car when solid statistics show that we're a high risk? Unfortunately insurance quotations aren't detailed enough to judge whether you're sensible or whether you're going to be a t**t on the roads so the majority will always be paying for the mistakes of the minority. And then there is the price inflation caused by wider issues that affect the insurance industry such as fronting and the massive surge in no-win-no-fee personal injury etc
Of course it'd be nice if you could have what you want, but driving is expensive and if you can't afford it then tough. Driving is an expensive luxery not a human right...

Why bother with a 1.4 over a 1.2, power difference is nothing but insurance will be higher.
I started off with a 1.2, flipped it. Bought another, 1st year insurance was £1800 fully comp (cheaper than 3rd party)
This year im paying £800 with 0ncb, added a girl on as a named driver to lower the price abit.
1.2's can be nippy if you rev them high enough, 3rd gear above changes will be at about 5k revs and it picks up speed nicely. Mine easily keeps up with my mates 1.4 civic and my other mates DCI65
