its a difficult one cos insurance varies so so much for every person, your mate could have got lucky. my mate pays 3k for a 1.2 nova. where as i pay 2k for an 05 plate bora...whos got the better deal there? i know the attraction to rwd but sometimes it really just isnt worth doing unless youve got massive pockets, but like ive just said insurance is so expensive, no matter what car youve got, and sometimes its worth paying extra for something worthwhile thats all
