first car recommendation for 17yr old

[jonmac73]

Hi all, been looking at insurance groups for replacement 2nd / 17yr learner car.
Looking at 2002 onwards so budget end - so far come up with Fiat Panda & Punto, 02-09 Polo1.2, Citroen C1/C2 1.1, Yaris 1.0.
Have seen other post for learner insurance @ approx. £70 per month so may do that till pass, then recommend advance driving test.
Any other real world experience of cheap to insure cars for 17 yr learner ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for views all so far.
Heard that need to have parent names on policy from someone else.
Interesting about the day before insurance - I had that last renewal - quote week few days before then on the day it was quite a bit more.
Panda or Polo 1.2 looking favourite, then maybe C2 / 107 if find decent one.
Will prob do limited mileage & black box.
