I'd have had to pay £4500 for a full insurance for my car when I bought it, if I didn't get my special deal, so ridiculous Laughing and £1800 for a liability insurance, or whatever it's called in English Razz

With the deal I have through work, I'm only paying around £920 each year for a full insurance Very Happy

These quotes are a huge surprise to me, the average quote here in London is at least 3k, 2.5k if you are lucky. My first quote was from 4,500 but with a lot of searching I thought I was lucky enough to get £2,100!

At 18 I paid 4k or more TPFT on my first 180.

I was mad. But we live and learn!

I'm now 24 and pay 700 ish with 5 years no claims. Lost out on a year because I bought my 180 halfway through a policy and no one would touch me at 18. Then got put through to insurance brokers and got pwned!

I've done quotes on pretty much all sizes of 206 and they all come up at pretty much the same price.

an example:
1.6 = £800
gti = £900
2.0 hdi = £770

Thats at 22 with no NCB. 3 Yrs driving.

My first car, 1.1 style was 1400 fully comp, no ncb, then with 1 Yr ncb about 900, my second car, 2.0 hdi was 750 with 3 Yr ncb and my gti now is 720 with the gf on it, would have been 500 though, quotes on a 180 came back as 700 aswell, I'm 23 now though

When I was 18 beer cost 99p a pint and petrol was £1.746 a gallon (38.4p/litre) so a bit pointless giving a price and saying "when I was 18" due to the change in the economy.

We all know that insurance costs change from street to street, with where the car is parked and the experience of the driver. So whatever someone else has been quoted, it's unlikely that another person (even if they live next door) will get the same quote.

It seems anyone learning to drive now is being completely priced out the market. I spoken to a guy who just turned 19, hes just passed his test and can't get insured on anything for less than 4 grand.

A guy I went to school with and passed the same time as me, is paying £3000 on his corsa c 1.2 sxi - but I think that is mostly down to the choice of car, and I do not know if he has made any claims or where he lives now though.

The new law on not deciding price based on sex isn't going to help when it comes in december. Instead of lowering mens and increasing womens to make them meet in the middle, they will use it as an excuse to raise both quite a lot.

my 1.1 at 19 was 1100 TPFT and to insure the GTi i went to from january to september was an extra £400ish, now with 3 years no claims and the missus learning to drive on my policy it is £670 TPFT on my 2.0 HDi DTurbo whidh i still think is ridiculous as the car is a cat D write off and cant be worth much more than £500 itself.

at 18 i had a corsa b 1 liter which cost me £2200 > £267 tpft per month brought the car for £145 with 6 months tax which made me ask the question am i really going to set fire to my car over 13 times? lol... now im paying 98.00 a month fully comp for a 1.1 206 either way insurance is just a cancer on peoples pockets that hits hard in the first place and never really backs down Sad

Some bad news, insurance prices have risen over 40% in the last yr,

It is a bad state when insuring a 306 cabrio (£285 fully comp) cost less than a honda civic coupe (£345 again fully comp) that's at 33 with 9 yrs (full is at 7 yrs) NCB no points or convictions. Funny thing is I was using compare the meerkat and got a quote back of 126k, I was thinkin if i had that kinda money would I really be drivin a civic coupe.

Bottem line insurance is balls but we all need it to be legal

insurance is crazy and unpredictable, my cheapest quotes came out at 3400 when i first passed my test on a corsa c, managed to get 1 for 1900 with a tracker installed 6k mile limit a year, got quotes for 3k+ on xsi so rang my insurance company and they jus wanted another 400 squid

not quite sure what you mean about rear anti roll bar a wrx should have one as standerd mate.
mine has got the whiteline arb and the antilift kit with a top stut brace and really do notice how much better the turn in is.

ah right well that explanes the ins costs then Laughing Laughing still a nice car tho and tbh not alot slower than the wrx/sti in the bendy bits as you still got the same 4x4 set up as we do. 99% of the parts can be swaped between them all anyway.
some pics of mine in the meets section from the last chichester meet Wink

I noticed mate, looks nice. They are and arent, the subframes require modifications to fit but in the bends she will 'show up' quite alot of german toys even without a turbo. Saying that this shape was rumored to have 150 and not 125 which is nice

I look forward to the rear subframe swap, as im not sure many would attempt this Laughing

go for it fella its nice to see sombody doing somthing diffrent rather than just trying to make it look like a turbo one.

i quite like the handling of impreza; can def. feel more power on the wheels round the corner.
