    You might find a Corsa is cheaper if repair costs are high. Its based on a Suzuki which would prob be higher

    True, but the theft risk is almost in minus figures. Lol

    The want factor certainly is!

    Like a filing cabinet on a skateboard IMO! The worst looking vehicles on our roads are those mini mpv things.

    i think 1.2 8v carb nova or corsa is the way to go.

    does anyone no if the 1.3 8v engine is same insurance group as 1200?

    In terms of Nova insurance groups, a 1.0 3dr hatch would be the cheapest. In practice, it varies as claim rates come into play - its not uncommon to see a 1.2 with a higher premium than a 1.3SR for example.

    As for newer Vauxhalls, you'd be looking at the likes of a Corsa C or D, probably a 3cyl 1.0. But then the newer the car, the more it costs to buy (usually), so its whether or not you want to spend less on the car and more on insurance, or vice versa.
