I pay ?722 for my 2.0 16v Turbo :wink:

afaik HIC are getting a bit twitchy about young drivers in high powered cars, so even if they will insure you then don't expect it to be cheap!

I take it your taking about the car not the way flux handel customers? :lol:

A lot of the things said about bad handling on XE novas is said by either ppl who hate big block novas or ppl who have never really driven one set up good..

As mine is 20 times better now i fitted coilovers,with a diff it will be even better still.
