My Takumi ES has been hit hard this year by the insurers. This was the cheapest quote. My old insurer was quoting over £2000! Yes seriously! I'm 28 years old and I've never claimed on any car insurance.
I live in a small city where car theft is generally very low. These costs are hard to stomach on top of the excessive road tax. Good thing I love the car..
I feel like some sort of government intervention is needed. Read online an 18 year old will pay on average over £3000 for a small city car in certain places..
