I'd imagine the days of hot hatches being affordable for kids are well behind us.
My nephew (17) got an insurance quote on mine and his quote was £5600. That's on top of the >£40k purchase price.
No wonder we're all old farts in this thread.
What would you consider “old” for a hot/warm hatch as compared to the past where younger people were driving hot hatches ? My nephew (17) got an insurance quote on mine and his quote was £5600. That's on top of the >£40k purchase price.

It was unaffordable when I was 17 (1996). £5K for a Citroen Saxo VTS. 0-60 in circa 8 secs. I wouldn’t mind betting it’s easier for a young person to get a car as quick as one of those now than it was then (albeit, it wont be the range topper anymore).My nephew (17) got an insurance quote on mine and his quote was £5600.

Bonus was that at the end of the 2 years Direct line i think it was, ended up giving me 65% no claims bonus for not having any claims
Forgot to add with out the 2 years free insurance as a 21 year old the insurance would have been £1,900 for the year as i had 2 insurance claims against me at the time.
