At a guess I'd say that statistically there's less accidents involving young people in larger cc cars than smaller ones.

And thinking about it, aren't there far far more young people who have 1.0 and 1.2 l cars as their first one, so therefore there's likely to be a greater incidence of accidents and claims ?

Ironic really, buy a small car to keep the insurance down but collectively one is causing the premium to rise.
