Hi guys,
I've had my eye on a Type S for quite a long time now while I'm saving money, but one thing I'm worried about is insurance. I've currently got a black box in my Peugeot 1-slow-6, all of the readouts have signalled that my driving is really smooth and sensible. These readouts are apparently available to all insurers, but do they make a real difference?
BUT the type S I really want is the 1.8, fairly large for an 18 year old driver and my worry is that the insurance will be seriously expensive or even worse not even available. After doing a few comparisons using a Type S GT which I believe to be insurance group 11? I've found that quotes have been coming in at anything from £1500-£8000, and John Lewis insurance (to which I have a discount) wouldn't insure me outright, presumably due to the large engine.
Does anyone have any experience in getting insurance at such a young age on a civic? Chris Knott insurance don't insure under 21's from what I've read, and I would only be modifying the front grill, colour coding bumpers and possibly alloys.
Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
