Fast car cheap insurance

bazelbrush

Looking to upgrade from my 6n2 gti, I want something quick which is relatively cheapish to insure. 21 with 3 years n/b. Budget is around 5k any ideas ??

Golf GTI, you would be surprised how cheap they can be to insure.

I found those ST's very difficult to insure, 4.5k with very similar age and ncb as the op. Funny enough when I last checked it was only costing me 1300 to insure a 2.0 Fiesta ST.

Hmm I like the look of that little Clio ! I've been told the opposite about insuring a golf gti tbh.

The only way of knowing is make a list of candidates and getting quotes for them . Insurance has risen this year though

a UK model might be more insurance friendly and they are generally better spec'd.

i am a little biased but sure i'l tell you why .

really cheap cars to buy, looks good, very reliable, easy on fuel when driving normally (see my sig), 1.8 tax so it's not the worst, cheap to service, 190bhp yamaha tuned engine with an 8.4k redline and it's easier to find cars with leather and climate control than it is without.

I was looking at the corolla tsport which I believe has the same engine ? Lot of rough ones out there at the minute though, think I'll hold out for a tsport though. Think its the best choice considering budget and insurance !

The corolla tends to hold a lot more value than the celica, the celicas would be at least 50% cheaper as a rule imo but the corolla, at least in facelift form is a nice car.
