Most 18 yr olds would say that £3k a year for insurance makes it a problem When I was 18, my car didn't even cost me £3k, let alone insuring it.

Actually thats not true. For example my 5 series is insurance group 16. I'm 18 today and they have no problem.
For me insured on the TD6 FFRR Vogue under my own policy is £3000 per annum. Thats group 15. The TD6 RRS is group 13 and so there will be no problem getting insured.
A good friend of mine is insured on his dads FFRR S/C.

Anyway...good choice mate

If you can afford it then good luck to you, I know when i was 18 insurance was a lot of money my first car cost the same to buy as it was to insure, it looks like you are a very fortunate young person to be able to do it  some of my Previous cars

I drove around in my sisters cars - a knackered Mini and a Fiat Panda Fantasia (bright green with a double sunroof ) - didn't buy myself a car until I left Uni at 21 - then insurance still cost me over £800 on a Peugeot 306 1.4L (L standing for Limp)

And it was a knackered old Sierra for me, I think... or was it a Hyundai Stellar? I had one of those too... Insurance did cost more than the car often...

You haven't lived until you've spent 3 months in a Stellar... quality vehicle!! The gearbox fell off if I remember...
