Group 20 import aren't they? I know people 25 and over with full no claims bonus and still paying a good £1500 to insure an ITR. Wheras I can insure a Clio 172 Cup at 18 with only 1ncb for around £1800 fully comp. I'd have no chance with an Integra.
Check the DC2 forums... they are surprisingly cheap to insure in most cases.
Not a great example.
But im 26, 2 yrs no claims, on the street.. average area...
FC for £500
Not quite the same, but a good idea... and being over 25 hasnt changed my premiums much at all.
(Uk cars are group 18 btw, imports can be cheaper still depending on insurer)

Depends on insurer I guess, I'm fortunate to live in a good area and the quote I've got for my saxo vtr's renewal is £670 tpft at 18 with 1ncb. However my friend lives in the same area, all the details are the same but hes 20 with 0ncb and to insure my car it would cost him £1500 with the same company. So no claims could perhaps make it possible, I'll run a few quotes as a dc2 would be damn tasty

True true, the first year when you have 0 ncb is always bad. I've managed to get my 2nd year on my GTi6 (with 1 ncb) for £750 FC at 22 so a MASIVE reduction.
Biggest problem I found was finding an actual INSURER who would insure me on a Cup/GTi6/DC2 with 0 NCB. They all said I had to either be 25 or have at least one years no claims.
Only had three companies who would give me a price with Direct Line being the cheapest.![[huzeeee]](/styles/overclockers/avatars/3.png){kind=avatar}

Ill back you up on that, they dent so easily and peugout cut corners to save pennies. Last one mum had was in the garage every month, and her new one has ****** thin pannels, literally i leant on the c pillar and it bent in. Quick cars though, wouldnt say they are complete junk i like them its just a shame that the build quality isnt as good as the looks and handleing.
No swearing.
Gilly.
Doh, someone beat me to it. I'd definitely recommend a Nissan 200, at the least take one for a test drive then make your mind up....

Insurance isn't all that bad. Mine is £1,050 next year for renewal and I will be 21 with 2 years NCB
