    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??

    Power output is going to have an impact, and in many cases the equivalent spec diesel will have a higher horsepower and hence possibly be dearer.

    But just run dummy quotes to check first.
