Try ringing up and getting a quote?
It depends on where you live, how long you have had your licence, Pass plus ect
nobody can tell you how much your insurance will be.
If iwere you i would buy an SRi 16v 88bhp as it's nippy and only insurance group 6, or a Saxo VTR group 7 and 100bhp as both will be cheaper

i cant imagine them being that quick tbh
the saxo would piss all over it im guessing, so i spose the sax would be the better option really

the 1.4 16v is a very nippy car and tbh with you having as good as no driving experience chances are either the Sri, GSI or VTR will be too powerfull for you.
Your right the saxo will be the nippiest, and thats including the GSI in my opinion

you'll find great difficulty mate. most insurance companies wouldnt even look at me until i was 21. GSI's are group 11 and thats a bracket generally for 21 yr old and over. But im 21 now, 3 yrs no claims, 495 with quinn direct!
