As above, not really. Most insurers look for 25+ years olds on imprezas.

Most specialists will only be able to quote for 25+

If you are 23/24 and have owned the car for 2 yrs+ without any claims it's sometimes possible, but won't be cheap

Sounds about right.

That's why there aren't many 21 year olds driving these cars

I am only just 24 and have owned my RB5 WR Sport (PPP) for only 6 months and pay £800 a year with admiral, pretty good I recon! Admiral seem to be pretty good with young drivers, before the impreza I was paying £420 a year on a mk2 Ibiza gti 2.0 16v cupra and my housemate of the same age was paying £700 for an RX8!

£1100 for 3 points? Is that really what you have to pay? The penalties dont seem to fit the crime if thats the case.
