I see what you are saying Kelly, but I'm just one for learning to drive in a slower car, progressing to a faster one as experience builds. Granted, it's the drivers mentality that counts, but I can't help but think that a yound and inexperienced driver in a Starlet is a recipe for disaster, especially one with stock boaty suspension!
Comments aside, he's passed his test and bought a GT, I can only hope we don't see another "I've stacked it" topic in chillout.
To the OP: There is a massive list of insurers in this section, take a read and start phoning around. Don't expect it to be cheap though. Also...

Congrats on passing
It's ur choice in what car you like as a first car i guess, the starlets are getting more and more known now.
Have you read through the insurance threads on here? might be able to give you some idea.
Enjoy ur stay

Excuse me? No real need for that is there, or would you like another "
" smilie to make my light hearted quip a little more obvious?I assume by your post you mean you sorted your insurance out? You say "I sorted it last week" but I see no post prior to that stating you had.
Congratz mate, when i was 18 i was paying 1800 fully comp
Lucky, I was paying that for an n/a Starlet when I was 18

I had the same shit off my parents... and I ended up with a seicento as a first car and the GT for my 2nd car, now I've got a clio and a GT.
Take it as advice I've got so many m8s who had 1.6/1.8/2.0L as first cars and their not exceptionally fast, and theres probably only about 1 of the cars left out of around 5 lol

Basically the forum members are saying that giving a young, inexperienced driver a turbo charged vehicle to drive around in is like giving said young driver a loaded gun.
Statistics prove that young drivers are very likely to crash with a year of passing their tests, the odds in your case are increased as you have a performance car.
Take it on the chin though, this happens on all car club forums when a young'un passes their test and gets a performance car, trust me, I see it all the time. Prove them all wrong, drive sensibley and you'll be fine! You could even dig this thread up in a years time and rub their noses in it...
I'll beleive it when i see it though

Itl be stupidly expensive, i got a quote from quin last week, there the only one whos seem to insure, i put in a quote for 18, held a licence for less than a year, 0 ncb and it came out at 3.5k, wait unitl you have 1yrs ncb and it drops to 1700 tpft or 2ish thousand fully comp, thats why ive waited a year!
And the others are right, the power will get the better of you...
