weather to get a saxo vtr or get something with a similar insurance group (group 7). got insured on a nova 1.4 for 1800 quid so its high for me cos of all me convuctions etc. so saxo seems like a safe option. i got bout 8 grand but want something new/newish! but obviously insurance is the main thing here! cheers any suggestions?

i am starting to like the ford focus, and the 1.8 and 2.0 are quite low insurance, not that sporty tho.

I'd get a 106 GTi if i could afford to insure one but the Saxo VTR IMO is the next best thing.
