Young driver insurance cost

[John D9395]

Hi

Looking to buy a car, probably 07 / 08 for my daughter who will hopefully pass her test sometime in the near future.

Started looking at Toyota Aygo, but gave realised that insurance on Mini's is similar.

That said, on line insurance seems to be significantly cheaper on a 1.6 copper, than a 1.4 mini one.

To me, this doesn't seem right given the extra engine size and performance.

Can anyone confirm this is correct and not a 'direct line's glitch, I don't want to buy something that we on after find is too expensive to insure.

Thanks

Well the deed is done, an 08 Mini Copper has been purchased.

Really pleased with it, daughter even more pleased, she should be, I never had a car like that to learn in when I was 17!
