you won't get affordable insurance on a 1.6 unless you go in your mum or dads name, which is fraud.

1.4

neither are particularly fast, unless your driving it like a bellend round corners and stuff,

but as said a 1.6 is group 10 insurance so wont be cheap, so id go for a 10, 1.2 or 1.4 to be honest

No, but whats the point in paying heaps more for insurance if you'd be just as happy with a 1.0 or 1.2?
