For a 1st car, I wouldn't go for anything above 1.4
Get it, if you can get insured.

what he said.
It's a matter of who will insure you and if you can afford/are willing to pay the insurance.

I would get a cheaper to insure car and insure it you name. At least then you will be getting a no claims bonus (you'd hope) which will enable you to get a better car the following year. Thats what I did.

my nephew has a 1.4 corsa breeze and is only paying about 100 more than he would on a 1.0
i would get a 1.4 but maybe not the sport as there still low insurance groups so are cheaper too insure
