    Hi folks,
    I need to change the car and i was wondering about the insurance for it.
    Im sick of ringing the company with differant makes and models.
    Is there a list anywhere of car groupings like you can get for a motor bike,
    all i want to know is what cars are at the cheaper end, that still have a bit of power, this info seems to be hard to find.

    In a nutshell
    Can anyone suggest a car with some amount of power (not a dead 1L) and a low insurance rating

    Thanks

    BHP, Engine size (up to a certain age) would be the main ones I reckon. Cars that have a rep e.g Honda Civic may have a loading.

    Companies such as Hibernian will not insure cars that are "high performance" this includes VTEC,MIVEC etc

    EDIT: What's your budget by the way, car budget that is.
