Car insurance

[grr666]

I switched from a Skoda Fabia VRS 1.9TDI to an Audi S3 with lots more power and which was worth over 4 times
what the skoda was. Insurance dropped to 400 a year from 700 for the Skoda. I have no idea why?

When I passed my test at 24 I was getting quoted over 3 grand for 1.2 Corsa's, adding my dad to the insurance brought it down by about £500 (to £2800) but it was still way too much. I've had my license for 4 years now, and have one partial fault accident on my record.

I'm guessing a C30's shit? The R-design has a bodykit, and I think a decent sound system with an AUX connector etc. I've got the base model which doesn't even play MP3 CDs Anything bigger than the 1.8L engine will be too rapey on insurance tho.

Yeah I don't like the boot either, it's a nod to the 480 which was fugly as well. That Rover 45's tragic tho

So I can insure this:

For about £1700... it probably is worth it for winter... thoughts?

Should go ok, our car is a 1.6i hatchback and it goes well enough. Spares everywhere for them, fuel costs reasonable
and no turbo, DPF or DMF to bork and cost you a limb or two. Why not. Aftermarket silencer suggests modded/thrashed.
Check all the fluids etc, common faults here...

Try an Astra 1.6. Pre 2004 and you should be able to get the car and insurance for less than £2k

Try a 1.5 Almera on a 2000(ish) plate.

Out of curiosity I did a quote for a 2004 MX5. As a 51y/o Londoner with over thirty years driving, married, home owner, clean licence etc.. £450 was the cheapest. That's more than I pay for my 4 litre 2 ton 210bhp Ford Explorer.
