Is it a good idea to get the Vauxhall Corsa Limited Edition as a first car?

Yeah lol I thought it'd be a lot more, at first I went on compare the market and tesco quoted me like £620, then I went straight to tesco and they quoted me £570 but at the checkout page it said 'Insure the Box is the insurance provider', finally I went direct to them and got that price.
I was only allocated 6k miles though but got up to a 100 bonus miles per month depending on how well I drove (this was also a factor in the second years premium).

Also depends on where you live cause my sis has a 1 series and she's paying 1k through my parents address but she lives in central London where the quote was like 2.5k

So what do you think I should do? I actually wanted a VW Golf MK3-MK4 (you know the old school bad boyz) but when I searched for quotes, they were from like £5k-£10k. I don't understand why they're doing this, is it because of the VW engines or what? I can't seem to find a good affordable quote.

Depends on your budget. Don't like old cars, I'd get newish car but not special edition, you'd probably have to get telemetry box plus mileage limits if you want to decrease the insurance quote further.

I got 13 plate corsa 5 doors (not limited edition) and my insurance was only £520 for first year with a telemetry box (was 20 yo), this year it has gone down to £420.

When you renew it, do you do it automatically with the same insurer or search for the cheapest one again?

That's interesting. I've been driving for 3 years but only got my own car this year. It's a 2008 Mazda 2 and the insurance is £880 a year under my own policy.

I was wondering if it's a good idea if I should get the Vauxhall Corsa Limited Edition (probably 2012-2012 reg) because they're a lot cheaper and insurance companies don't charge you a fortune.

Also, when I mean as a "first car" I mean when you just have passed your driving test and have a full driving license, just to clarify that.

They just look beautiful too.. I mean, who would refuse it?

I've been just searching for quotes on uSwitch and the cheapest one I got is for £2,624. That's good, right? :P

They just sent me a email with new quote on the last month of my insurance, good price so I didn't bother searching for a new one

I had a Corsa for my first car... Biggest regret ever! It was a massive pooheap! I was thrilled when it got scrapped lol
