First car advise (cheap car with cheap insurance?)

xXGhostFartXx

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any advise on what is a good first car (that's pretty cheap... with cheap insurance also :P ) Any tips or advise welcome

Looking for a car with a pretty small engine size that is also cheap to run ( maybe 1.6 or less ) preferably a hatchback.

Daewoo Matiz.

Insurance is never specific.

I got a BMW 320ci as my first car and it was cheaper to insure than a Bora 1.4 because fcuk logic.

My first car was a BMW 316. I was in my mid-thirties and the first year of car insurance was rough because I was on a provisional licence and had no NCB built up on other cars. Obviously, if I had bought a 1,000 cc or less car, life would have been easier. I was advised by brokers that engine size rather than make and model was the cause of my high premium.
