Practical as a first (and only car? (I'm 22 though, and have 5 years no claims bonus of my own... the car this was built up on is owned by my parents...).

Advice for buying? Why are there so many imports about? how much more will I pay for insurance on an import?

Also, they don't appear to have much roll-over protection. How do they fair in the event of such an incident...

Thanks in advance

I have just got a quote for insurance and was pleasnatly surprised - based on a mid 90s 1.8 uk mx5 - £420 fully comp. Given that I'm 22 and would park it on the driveway and a student (ahem, I prefer to call myself a post graduate ) I was vry pleasantly surprised. This is looking more and more like a realistic proposition... why is insurance on imports so much more though?
