What are your thoughts on these? What sorta BHP they pushing? Are they reliable? And would insurance for a 18 year old on one be sky high?
Thoughts please

Wouldn't of thought insurance would be particularly high, they are not a performance car.

Ok ok ok, What would be reasonable for my age? I want a pretty quick car but not something that I wouldn't be able to insure because its too high!

Quicksilvers have less BHP and 8 less valves. Do the math.
Corsa sport is only ins grp 5/6 IIRC

At 18 mate it was plenty nippy enough, when I got bored with it I put a 1.6 16v in it. Then sold for something faster. My insurance is through Direct Line.
