Hi folks

It has been a long time since I bought a car :pac:

At the moment, I have a 12 year old Corolla, 1.4 Petrol. I have 2 named drivers on my insurance, one is a 19 year old provisional licence holder.

I will contact my insurance co. but is there a difference in insurance for a petrol/diesel car??

I am looking at a Nissan Quasqai and the diesel options def seem cheaper.

In your experience folks, what is the best option??

But just run dummy quotes to check first.
