I myself have a Type R, and I also got it when I was 23, I also know of someone who has a P1 that bought it brand new when he was 19!( I think)

Tescos have (since april 1st) refused to insure under 25's on Evo's, so I would imagine it would be the same for Imprezas. I'm getting a new Evo MR340 on June 1st, and my only decent insurance quote was from admiral (£2424.02...22 years old, no ncb, no previous offences etc...) so it looks like insurance companies are trying to reduce the young drivers in fast cars thing!...won't stop me though

I insured a new VX220 Turbo through Tesco's the week before they changed their policy. I phoned up a week later to ask if I could change my cover (reduce the annual mileage) and was told that I'd have to cancel the current cover (full refund with their 7 day no quibble policy) and take out new cover.

Fine. The operator then laughed and told me that if I did cancel the current cover that they'd no longer issue me with a quote simply due to my age (22) and them not insuring anybody under 25 on high performance vehicles
Given that the next cheapest quote was a good few hundred quid more expensive, the phone went down like a shot...

I was only just 21 when I got my 98 STi Type R.

I paid £2550 to insure it on a Traders policy ( fully comp upto £26k on any car ) as that was the only way to get insured with 2yrs NCB and 3 points.

any of you young inexperienced drivers actually had any extra driving tuition over and above your standard driving test?
I'm not talking about hairing round a track either, more actual advanced driving instruction.
You'd be better off in a cheaper, less powerful car, with a course of fast road driving under your belt, much safer, and in the long run would bring down insurance for all of us
