2) Would it be insurable (wot with group 20 and all??)? (Im willing to pay upto say £1800 full comp).

I was previously insured behind my dad, so il only have 1 year NCB.
So im lookin at, age 21, 1 year NCB, low crime area (CB9 postcode), 3 years driving, decent job....surely i can insure one.

If not, it wil have to be the Civic Type-R!! (Waits for torrent of abuse!!?!!! )

Greenlight seem to be quite good for insurance prices (young drivers / mods etc).

For 13-14K you're looking at a good condition PPP'd 2000 Turbo (W reg ish) or something like an STI 4.

Depends on the mods attached.

Probably depends on how "decent" your job is. Expect to be on the wrong side of £2K even if you're lucky.

The crime rate of the area you live in will be secondary to your driving record and NCD. From an insurer's point of view, the balance of risk is you wrapping the car round a tree, not somebody nicking it.

A spotless driving record in your three years on the road may help you, but either way you're going to have to cough up. Suggest you try and get quotes on a 99/00 bog standard UK Turbo 2000 before you start actually looking for a car. Could save you a lot of fruitless searching!
