HELP!! CAR FOR NEW DRIVER 17y/o
Discussion
I always suggest the jap/Korean 'granny' cars, they seem rarer and are driven by well grannies so the crash/break in stats should be lower so cheaper insurance. Not exactly the sexist cars though, but its yours first car.
Alto, Swift, Matiz, Sirion, Yaris, Picanto, Amica.
If you have your heart set on a german car, have a look at the lupo/polo and the seat equivalents.

Seen a few adverts for brand new Adam with a years insurance for £129 a month or something stupid.
That monthly fee is less than you would pay per month on insurance alone on most cars.
Few other cars are coming with free insurance too.
Sadly the free insurance usually applies to over 18s or 21sThat monthly fee is less than you would pay per month on insurance alone on most cars.

I'm 26 so it's irrelevant anyway but I recently bought a 1.1 Citroen Saxo as a stop gap car while my BMW is being done up and was astounded to find that it's more costly to insure than my 190bhp 5-series. Clearly a lot of these cars have been wrapped around street furniture by yoofs.
Don't get too fixated on engine sizes or insurance groups, get quotes on a variety of cars.
Newer cars are often cheaper to insure than their older equivalents, so consider upping your car budget.
This. Well, in all honesty a M3 isn't going to cut it (even old), but the logic of "tin can with sewing machine motor = cheap" really doesn't seem to hold up. Small cars are plenty fast enough to turn the strumpet in the passenger seat into a paraplegic, or write off an Aston, and are no more benign handling than anything else with a sane amount of power.Don't get too fixated on engine sizes or insurance groups, get quotes on a variety of cars.
