Not sure.
Not too bad.
Friend was insured on his own ( no parents etc), without passplus last year for £900, with direct line.

wat group insurance? 4 I think.
r they quick? Meant to be quite nippy for a 1.2, but you will spend alot of time doubling back to pick up the bits that fall off!!
wat u recon insurance would be for a 17 year old jus passed? Probably between £500 & £4k
Cheers

I think my Grande Punto has an LSD. The handling is actually fantastic. [picky cocks read this](For the kind of car it is and I know it doesn't have an LSD)[/picky cocks read this]

But the corsa 1.2 isnt a great engine, the fiat 1.2 and the ford 1.25 easily have a advantae over it...
