I agree. I had my first ST at 19 with 2 years no claims and it cost me about £1100 (converted from 1550 euros as I live in germany). I am now 20 with 3 years no claims and the cost has fallen to 1411 euros a year. I have no idea what sort of difference there would be between english and german insurance groups but hopefully that gives u some idea. When i was 18 i had a sportka which cost be 1850 euros to insure and my first car at 17 was a ka and that cost me 2300 euros (£1550) for the year. So you can see the difference as the no claims begins to build. I think that £940 for my ST now (at 20 years old) isnt to bad a figure.

I think those prices in Euro's are quite good actually compared to UK! I know some people who were paying £2000 on insurance on their first car!

As for excess I believe you have to pay a young driver excess of about £300 if you are under 21. In addition to any other voluntary excess.

heard the one about the guy who paid more for the insurance than what the car was worth.......plenty of times
there is no justice.

Just had a quick search and if its 25 years old I presume it must have been a Renault 18 (so close there!) - the Laguna replaced the Renault 21, which in turn had replaced the Renault 18.

Well... it took a bit of time to get me perfect, but I was in development... suprised they didn't can me like the Fiesta

Too expensive during development and losing money once in production

See, I don't think they planned me at all, certainly not perfect. I must have been one of those friday afternoon ones, done quickly and in a rush!!
