A golf GTI will cost a fortune for a new driver. Think about a fiesta or citron saxo but the smaller engine models. |

My first premium for a 1.3 was around £700, 3rd party, fire+theft. Unless you've got loads of cash, don't buy a car with a huge engine as you will pay a huge premium. Get something small, build up some no claims first. Generally as a rule, under 25's are penalised, men more so than women. |

my 17 year old son has just been quoted £1430 for a 1.0 litre engine corsa
a golf gti is a much higher group insurance
you can get a proper quote from confused.com |

It will depend entirely on the value of the car, but expect to pay at least its value in insurance. |

Hi Stel
Nice car as a choice but bad car to insure at your age. Your best bet is to go for something smaller initially and build up a no claims bonus , as you will probably pay as much for the insurance as you will for the car if you go for the VW . There are some quick little numbers out there , and no offence but if you have recently passed your test you want something that you can still learn in that will not be too quick , which a 2 litre golf will be.
Good luck with whatever you choose !!

Depends what type of cover you want.
On average I'd say:
1.0 engine - around £1000
1.6 engine - around £1800
2.0 engine - around £2500 ( Stay away from large engines )
Don't forgot though that a Vauxhall Corsa will be around £1000.
A mini cooper will be group 20, and will cost around well £6000+ insurance - The cheaper the car - The cheaper the insurance.
Just to give you a few tips:
Make sure you check on various websites and comparative sites to get you the cheapest price.
And, don't bother with anything higher than a 1.2 engine, you're a new driver and don't need the speed of a 2.0l engine just yet. Wait 5 years, then get one, the insurance will be around half price. Ahhh can't wait until I'm 23! |

i think it would depend on which insurance company you go with it would be dear for a 2.0 engine car if its the time you are getting insurance |

thats a difficult one, its going to be expensive whatever you go for, a 2 litre engine is really out of the question as for a 17 year old theyd want about 3000 if theyd unsure you, you'll probably find they won't :( if you went for a 1 litre engine you might be looking at maybe a 1000? but that can vary massively. have a look on the comparison sites :) like moneysupermarket :) |

In England you cant drive a 2.0 engine at that age... a 1.5 would be about 1.7K-2.5K... and a 1.0 about 1.2K to 2K |

When starting to drive you should start with a small car witha low insurance group Gof gtI,s are very expensive to insure especialy a 2ltr some insurance companys may turn you down or quote you£2500+ .And remember its better to start with a smaller car as most leraners have a prang or 2 in the 1st year and if you go and write your car off you wont be very happy .Get a quote from confused .com or moneysupermarket.com and cosider alternatives like a citreon saxo vtr or a peugeot 106 |

Nice car, but you *really* need to get a few quotes from insurance companies rather than relying on wild guesses from people on here.
Let me give you a clue, though. At 17 years old, in a powerful car, without no-claims discount and very little driving experience, insurance companies won't exactly be fighting each other to get your business.
Wild guess time. You'll find that most companies won't offer you insurance, and the ones that will make you an offer will impose huge excesses (over £1000), only offer third party insurance and still be over £2000, i.e. they don't really want your business.
Try a smaller car for a while to get you some NCD built up. |

£1000 upwards depending on car, |

A 2.0 litre VW Golf GTI is far too powerful for a new driver.
Get a 1.3 Fiesta or Corsa. I passed my test nearly 6 years ago and my insurance for the year was nearly £700 for a 1.3 fiesta (with £250 voluntary xs!!)
The car you want will cost a fortune to insure and I personally think is quite dangerous for you to drive - no matter how good a driver you think you are (not you personally any new driver). |

A NEW DRIVER JUST STARTING TO DRIVE WITH THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE WILL BE PAYING BETWEEN $2500.00 TO $3500.00 A YEAR WITH FULL COVERAGE.
JUST NO WAY AROUND IT.
1. NEW DRIVER.
2. NO EXPERIENCE.
3. UNDERAGE.
4. FAST VEHICLE. |

Well, when I first bought a car I walked into a driving school and said "I want to do some strating please"
The man said, "Certainly, sir, what sort of strating do you want?"
Well you know how it is, my mind went all wobbly like a 15 year old sardine swimming in a bowl of cherry flavoured jelly and I diddled know.
So he gave me a standard strat.
Had it ever since.
And very happy we are. |

Don't forget you will probably be paying somewhere in the region of £205 road tax per year for a 2.0L petrol engined car depending on it's emissions which is a considerable amount to pay on top of the insurence. |
