Don't get a new car because 1 insurance company bumped up their price! Ring adrian flux, i bet you will get a decent quote for your age. Failing that, just insure the car when you pass your test.

Envoy doesn't have powersteering 
similar thing happened to me when i passed my test. went up £650, nothing compared to what you were quoted though 
keep hunting round for quotes though mate!

What ever you do dont take the power steering and leccy windows off the sport, what you going to do with the sport then? No one will want to buy it when its not the spec its meant to be.
