We use Keith Michaels and would recommend them to anyone & everyone. They are by a long way the cheapest, excellent policy and Mrs Big Pete has never had an issue when calling them.

You youngsters are obviously high risk. The Impreza is a high performance car, even in standard setup. I bought my first Impreza turbo when I was 30, due to silly insurance premiums.

A PLAN You can always ask them to adjust the quote by adding to your excess fee and window cover to get the cost down if you get stuck etc...

Ive had a nightmare with insurance too!!

At 21 I payed £1050 for a UK Turbo.
At 22 I payed £1050 for a Uk Turbo with an extra years no claims.
At 23 I now pay £1350 for a Uk Turbo with another years no claims!

And just to confuse you even more, Im having to cancel a Policy with Markerstudy (through Swinton) to take out a policy with Markerstudy (through Swinton), as Ive been driving a Fiat Punto for that last 7 months but want my Subaru back now.

Ive spoken to soo many people, but no one at Swinton seems to understand why Im confused!

Well it goes on a few factors, car crime in your area and accidents involving this marque.
I would also do more shopping around too you may reduce that a little

PS, 700 quid per annum, slightly modified MY99 STI type R (and I think thats expensive for living out in the middle of no where, damn dodgy post codes )
