i've had my license for 2 and a half years now. In that time, i've driven about 20k miles and in that time, I haven't had my own insurance.

I had a 1997 Renault Clio 1.4 S Maxim for my first car. Cost me £650 to insure under my stepdad's name.

Yes, i'm aware you have to be careful if it's under your parent's name, but if it cost about £1500 to insure a 1.0 car, that would be a big fat no from me even if you are 17.

Judging by your post though, I'm guessing you might want something around the £1000 range. IMO, any car that's been looked after with a good history without any significant problems on a test drive will be the kind of thing you want. At that price bracket, brand doesn't matter as far as i'm concerned.
