It's nearly time for me to start thinking about buying my first car. Can't decide between these two. They are both in the style I like, but can't decide which I like more. I think the polo would be easier to insure for an inexperienced driver and that is why I like the polo; it's nice to look at IMO and easy to insure and it has a good fuel consumption.

What do you think?

in going to state the obvious here.....

one car is a polo ie little engined shopping car, the other is a golf, mid range family hatchback with larger engines.... therefor the golf is more to insure.

How about this wild idea..... Get insurance quotes for a 1.2 polo and 1.4/1.6 golf and see which is cheaper or even which one you can afford.

If you can get insured on a standard car for £X then ask how much insurance on a modified one is listing lowered suspension/alloy wheels/smooth'd bodywork/colour coding which the cars in the pics you posted have and be prepared for a rather large quote eg £X0000!
