Default why`s a 900cc fiat saychento dearer to insure than a 1300 ka

i was just looking at getting one, i pay 150 quid insurance for the ka, and i thought about downsizing,

and a smaller car with smaller engine is 200 quid with the same people...

it isnt all on engine size.

safety fatcor, cost of parts labour times and crash statistics all play a part in insurance premium calculations
