Agreed still think the most annoying part of my Z4 is that the insurance is cheaper than my fiesta. Im recently 20 and I really expected it not to be cheap and its annoyed me that its cheaper than my fiesta by £200! Makes me want to get rid of the fiesta and find something cheaper must be something about the fez that makes it so pricey

Yup!
Every second teenager gets one and crashes it, so the premiums reflect the likelihood of the insurance company having to pay out.
When my lad started to drive he wanted a 1300 Fiesta as everyone assumes below that capacity makes it cheaper to insure. He ended up finding a really nice 1400 Ghia. His mates described it as a granny's car but precisely for that reason the insurance was half what it would have been for the smaller engined one.

Dam got 1.25 fiesta 800 for the year, 3.0 z4 600??? I thought it wouldve been as its the most stolen car in the UK I always consider selling it and getting a car with cheaper insurance (Leon FR been quoted 550) but at the same time ive had it 2 years and I haven't had to fix or pay anything on it outside of services and MOT so maybe the extra insurance isnt so bad woth how little repairs I pay
