You will be paying a fortune either way. No point getting a 1.4 really because I assume you’ll be getting a black box to save money.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting your parents as the primary driver on your car if you live at home as that stops you paying thousands in insurance (and you don’t need a black box) however is called fronting which is illegal as it mean’s insurance companies can’t rip you off…. I would never recommend something insurance companies made illegal so they can make more money

This car is NOT suitable. You need a car in a low insurance group and name a parent as a second driver [try each and see which is cheaper]

Even with an insurance group 1 or 2 car, you'll be paying maybe £1500-2000 per year initially. With the car you've suggested, you might be paying twice that, or even more. If you can afford that, go for it, but it seems like a complete waste of money to me.
Aim for a 1.2 or lower. Unfortunately smaller cars are becoming more popular due to the cost of living crisis so prices for Aygos, 500s, C1s etc have soared.
Yeah you're looking at insurance group 30, when you should be looking at well, 1-3. Buy a standard model as to be blunt, all these faster GTI/R/GTR/S/ST/M/AMG etc models are for people with driving experience and the insurance to handle it
It's worth remembering that these faster special edition cars tend to bought by younger drivers who want to really rag/push it, so the health of used ones will reflect this.

How about a vw golf 1.4 tsi its insurance group 16E im fine with paying around 3-4 max for insurance in london as a 18yr old so do you reckon it should fall within that range
