"The survey, conducted by confused.com stated that the Alfa Romeo 147 has the highest percentage of claims in the UK, with almost 24% of the model’s owners making claims for road accidents. Closely tailgating (:))the Alfa’s bumper is the BMW 330i, with 23% of there drivers being involved in crashes. Then follows the Mazda MX-5, Seat Leon, Alfa Romeo 156, Audi A6, Mercedes SLK, Audi A4, Porsche Boxster, with the Audi A3 bringing up the rear in this cavalcade of ignominy with 22%."

Ah yeah, but if you where driving an old Vauxhall Nova would you make a claim on your insurance?? Probably be cheaper to get a 'new' one
