Do a search for "young insurance". The same cars always get a mention, and classic insurance seems to be favoured by some.

If you buy a car make sure it is insured in your own name. If you don't need to buy a car, become a named driver on your parents' car(s).
I didn't own my first car until I was 23 as I didn't need one at Uni and then went to work in London, so a car was a luxury item for me. In 6th form and uni holidays I could negotiate with my dad for the use of his car - most of my mates did the same.

anything small and relatively modern will do the job. I far prefer my mums Seat Arosa 16v to an instructors Fabia diesel. Small engined Arosas and Lupos are reliable, cheap and easy to drive... though don't get a 1.4 sport as the insurance gets a bit steep after you pass 
Finding something that is easy to see out of is great help when you are learning about any sort of low speed manoeuvring.
Clio is nice too as suggested above

My two boys both have Punto's............One started driving three years ago and one about to start. The latest one is a Grande Punto which I got last year as a cat D stolen and semi stripped. All together now so he has a cheap/fairly new/safe car and only group 2 insurance........When you go on to your parents insurance its usually about 2k extra or 1.5k if your female!! (depending area and insurer of course).......;)
Peugeot 306.. 1.6-1.8 cheap insurance for the cc, and havng had a couple in the family very reliable. Also handle well and fun to drive. You could pick up a nice one for 2K, the merdian is the top spec with semi leather seats and well kitted. You could prob get one of these for under 2K
