Well i want a scooby but obviously it won't be my first car cos most companies said i need previous experience in this car or similar to get insured so i want a car which i can gain experience so then i could later get a scooby.

You could go down the non-turbo route but even then you may not get insurance. Looks like you will have to settle for a cheap car for now until you build up some no claims.

I would have thought the opposite, can't see a 328i being cheap to insure for a new driver.

Well yes you could go for the basics: 206, saxo, clio, corsa, fiesta, 306 etc..... but he is 21, not 17
I would guess the OP wants something with a bit of speed though, as he is after a subaru later down the line. I think if you can get insured on 328i for £1500, then that would be a cracking choice IMO.

my mates 21. he started driving at about 6 months ago. his first car is a corsa 1.8 SRI. cost him about 1800 i think. his insurance is about £1400. and thats this a good postcode in scotland! cant see him getting insured on a 328 for less than 2k really. would cost him £3500 to get insured on my scooby.
no chance you can insure a scooby for 1500. maybe in 2 years time with 2 years ncb atleast.
im 24 (last week) and have 2 years ncb. (was a named driver for a couple years before. been driving since 18) i have a a 03 blob eye sti PPP and i pay £1100 in a good postcode.

i had an audi S4 v8 and was £1400 when i was 22/23 with a Croydon postcode but it would be abit more than that if i had no ncb and driving experience ect

mate have a look at a mk3 golf gti or even mk4 tdi, nice easy cars to drive and to insure, build up your ncb, for about 2 years then look to upgrade to the scooby, when i was 21 i had a 3.0 twin turbo 3000GT (uk spec) or GTO(import), 270bhp standard i paid 3g at the time but there going either cheaper now and insurance wasn't cheap first year as i had no ncb i paid 2g, inthe 2nd year i pad 1500, and then it dropped to about 1100, on fully comp, but get it on third party fire and theft give sky insurance and bell for a quote and see how much they quote you!
