Need to get a new car soon, i thought these little things looked quite interesting, fookin rapid as well! Anyone ever got insured on one? I think it might be a bit of a nightmare to sort out insurance as they're imported correct?
Well just wondered what you guys thought, as i cant find that much out about them, nothing on parkers!

Punto... Hmmm yeah possible, dont really like Fiat's though

Lack of NCB wont help much - although I had my impreza (grp 18) at 21 with 1yrs ncb

my mate who was 18 at the time bought one. was tuned and fuckin rapid, easily kept up when racing a evo6. he got insured under his mums name for 1k but when i tried it they wudnt insure me, so it was just luck i suppose. he crashed it a month or so after and has been on his drive for like 7months now as parts for it are way too expensive

i dont see the big problem with insuring these... actually the main reason why there is so many of them over here is that there extremely insurable for what they are.....and its not like ireland is a cheap place for insurance
i'd actually get insurd on one cheaper than on the corsa....
