If I'd have had 5yrs no claims would have been more like £700!! When it comes to these types of performance cars, when you're over 21, no claims starts to be weighted more heavily than your age.

Then I'd recommend looking at another Scooby with less rock solid residules. You can get a good 2002 Sti for about 15k these days which gives you a few more grand to splash out on the insurance! Don't forget to budget for the servicing and fuel costs too!
