What are they like in performance wise and how much is the insurance roughly for a new drive, I might get one when i pass after my 309?

Guy in another thread is getting one for a first car (Furio) and he said he is paying £700 FC. I'm 20, and pay just under £700.

That would be me, obviously its as a named driver on the policy and my brother as owning the car etc etc so it works out that cheap, on my own they want like £1700 cheapest i could find

Same as me but with my brother,

if you are the owner of the car mate and it says so on the V5 then you must be the main driver on the insurance policy. If you put your dad as the main driver and you're just an added driver then you can get done for fronting

Im 17 and passed like 2 months ago.
Paying 2k for my furio...
I find it pretty fast but ive never driven a 1.1 so dont really know.
For me, furio's / westcoast are nice if you have the money. Cant really get a vts (unless you have ££££) but they look pretty much the same.
Got a quote for a supra though and could get insured for 5k ;)

All my mates are doing it and tbh i think nearly all 17 year olds do, i dont know how insurance companies expect people to pay £1500 - £3000 for insurance.

Don't be a sheep mate. Your policy is null and void if you crash. Tough luck mate, i had to pay £1700 tpft on my 1st car, nothing that can be done

well you have to mate, we've all had to do it. You have a crash and you're fucked, no money can be paid out for you and you'll be looking at a fairly large ban

Same here mate, i havnt got the car or took a policy out yet or even past my test, but a quote doing it the cheap way came out just under £700 FC
My mate on his mums policy for a fiest 1.3 is paying £1200 FC :S somehow thats with swiftcover
My mate with a 1.2 Punto is paying just under £1000 on his mums, no excess and FC
I dread to think what it would be on their own :wacko:

ouch when my brother had lernt it was on my dads policy and it cost around £400 but then when i quoted it myself on direct line it would cost £1450 on my own:wall:

Ive had both and the Furio, at least in my case, was slightly faster. Slightly. Great first cars though
