    Thats a bit daft for insurance, thats more then it cost me to insure on a provisional license my first car a fiat punto. Is london an expensive area for insurance? Very nice car indeed, I hardly see them in my travels!

    London is stupid for insurance, my area is really safe as well. I can't imagine what it would be like if I lived in some of the rougher areas.

    Hopefully it will come down quite substantially next year

    Thanks for all the good comments, the lack of them on the road made me want one even more.

    Ouch !! Hurt, at that price I'd be crying, I thought it was bad enough having to pay an extra £132 when I went from my old Almera (Group 5) to my Vectra that I just picked up today (Group 11!)

    Still like you say, it will come down, who you insured with ??

    Insured with Elephant now. They offered the best quote by miles.

    The AA gave me a quote of £2,589

    Lesson to be learnt here: always shop around!
