There is no cheapest company I'm afraid. It's just a case of ringing around.
It will be astronomical though

You'll be singling yourself out for punishment on the insurance front with a lancer.

You will need to ring around, there's no single cheapest insurer, all depends on risk they profile you at. Normally sticking to a 1 litre for the first few years is a good idea.

Buy a micro/polo/fiesta/punto, pay 1 to 2k for a few years and get something else when you've a few years NCB.

You mean you hope to have it by then. I don't know how much insurance will cost you but it will be a lot more than the cost of the car.

Looks like you're looking forca car to show off "driving skills"

Boy racer type cars are heavily loaded by insurance companies - even with full licence expect quotes of 5k + for the type of car you are looking for.

You'll pay less than 2k for a bog standard fiesta.

So basically what everybody is saying is that its going to be expensive

Look, i know you're 18, but surely you could enter a few details on an insurance quote/ company site and see the price for yourself, or are you like many teens these days and need the hand held for everything?

€5,500 for an 18 year old with a provisional licence on a 1.5.

€3,500 for an 18 year old with a full licence on a 1lt according to fbd.ie

Why does it have to be awd/rwd?

amiasb

So i can bring it to tge track and drift competitions as well as it being a daily car

amiasb

What about an altezza or an is200 would the be cheaper to get insured on?

Sorry mods, but mwahahahaaaaaaa

bazz26

Insurance companies are not dumb, they will not entertain an 18 year old that doesn't even hold a license on anything like that even if you had all the money in the world.
