19 year old with 1 yrs no claims on a impreza turbo?? How much.... i'm intrigued! I'm nearly 24 and been driving 2 years 6 months, with that much in no claims on a company car, and anything remotely fast i'm looking at £1700 upwards. I got a quote on a MR2 t-bar non turbo cheapest confused came up with was about £1750 that was a UK car too, turbo's are even more ffs !

direct line arent the cheapest when on your own, but are the cheapest I have found if you put one of his parents as the first driver, and him as the second (also doesnt ask who is the main driver), plus, yoour cousin can also get his own no claims with them too.
