She wants a mini (BMW mini).
She won't be getting a car at all if insurance is over £1k/year.
As someone said earlier, for driving to school and to see friends it is poor value for money in addition to th ecost of car, repairs etc.
She wants to move to study in London after 6th form anyway - where a car is not really needed much.
Heh @ Paddy!
I highly doubt insurance will be under £1k. It's gonna be at least £1300 from the experiences of my brothers and cousins. I paid £1100 back in '02 on a crappy 1.2 clioShe won't be getting a car at all if insurance is over £1k/year.

As for suggestions though, a classic mini would be great. Uber cool, learn how to drive with no driver aids, and she's gonna have to get her hands dirty for when it inevitably has a minor strop (just like the daughter I imagine). This is what my son will be getting when he's 17 I've decided, and he's only 2 at the minute

Are Citreon etc not doing any "free insurance with new car deals"? That was the cheapest option with reliablity at one time.. well relative reliablity with a Citreon! (I've had 6).
These free insurance deals are dependant on the driver being at least 21, I've yet to see one lower.OP, put her through her test and leave it at that. If she plans to go to Uni she won't be able to afford to run a car there, if she studies in London it will be useless to her anyway, so tell her to wait until she's out in the world of work before thinking about driving again.
My daughter was £820 last year £760 this year with Diamond (Admiral) in a Fiesta 1.25 Style (grp 5/50). Cheapest option was to register car in her name, her listed as main driver, put both my wife and I on as other drivers (which we are). Put voluntary excess as £500 because you're unlikely to make a small claim that would lose her NCD. Quote she did for just herself was about £1050.
Cheapest cars were things like a basic Citroen C1.
Make sure you double check how much the policy goes up as soon as she passes her test. Admiral group ok (~10%) some others were not...
She is far too pretty to post up a piccy.
