I was 17 when I managed to get it insured for £1400. I did have the car already insured with them though before I actually passed. I had it insured on my provisional license for a few months. Then called them up on the day I passed and it was £1400 for a year Fully comp with all mods declared. All ...

If you do go with Admiral - something I found yesterday that makes a big difference - job.

I'm on a placement year from uni atm, and I'm paying * in insurance. When I go back to being a student it goes up about £300. (*+£300.) I'll also be doing a part time job while I study which is in the same ...

The box things were never cheaper for me, and put restrictions on driving hours between 11pm and 5am :(

I'm with Admiral - seem to be the cheapest. My sister in her first year of driving is paying £600 after gocompare/or someone gave a freakly low quote, but they said they had to honour it ...

Wow.. I had heard that insurance had gone up for young drivers but nowhere near the amount you guys are talking about! This is crazy, and to think I was left with a bitter taste for parting with 'just' £1200 for my first premium aged 18 :?

As Jack said, I believe co-op do insurance where they fit ...

When getting insured on my 1.0E I started looking on comparison websites. I was getting quoted £4500 for fully comprehensive and £3000 for third party fire and theft. Decided to give Admiral a call And managed to get it for £1400 and that with all mods declared. Lowering, alloys etc. All my friends ...

Been looking for a Mk5 Polo for around a month now since I passed my test just over 2 months ago. Anyway I'm doing quotes for 1.0E but getting rediculous quotes from the insurers, some are over £5000! I understand I'm 17 but I'm sure these are overpriced quotes for 1.0L Polo. Has anyone got any ...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Think I'm going for a 1.0E as like JackClap said it's not worth paying the extra on insurance for 10bhp ;)

I had a look last night at 1.4TDI's but the quotes were insane. I think it's because I quoted for the 1.4 S TDI, is there any cheaper/more basic models that ...

I think the 1.4E Polo has the 8V 60bhp engine so based on that I would just go for the 50bhp 1.0ltr.
Both models are not going to be fast so you might as well go for the 1.0 and take advantage of the cheaper insurance, either that or look for a 1.4 TDI Polo (quiet rare) which are really cheap to ...

Haven't been on here for a while as I was waiting until I had passed my test. Anyway I passed around a month ago and I'm looking for my first car. Need some advice whether to get a 1.0E or a 1.4E, I'm unsure how much the insurance is going to cost but I take it the 1.0E should be a bit cheaper. I'm ...
