Probably doesnt help but I used to have a Saxo VTS, cost me £800ish for the year to insure, having 2years no claims at 22, when I went to change to the clio 1.2 my premium went up to £950 for the year! however when I came to renewal it was Tesco (direct including clubcard discount) that was the cheapest at £360 for the year, I pay £30 a month
I also recommended tesco to a friend who got his first car, he got a new clubcard then got his insurance alot cheaper! he then wrote off his car a few weeks later :/
And old people get the last laugh!, I did the insurance for 2 people,
my grandmotherinlaw.. who drives a 3.summert merc CLS350.. £280!! (with AA)
our warehouse man at work, he drives a 1.2l fiesta and was discusted at his £180 renewal.. we got it down to £110 for the year with lloyds!
insurance is completely mad
