Well, as some of you know, My insurance has been an absolute stinker whilst owning the V6. At the age of 20 I was paying £3200 for the year. I'm now 21 and just had a quote from AF, this was the last port of call for me but it should have been the first, as soon as i was quoted £865 i bit the blokes arm off! Gave him my debit card and paid in full...Might even have enough cash left over to fix my clutch!
Hopefully everything will be hassle free for the year!

Haha yeah I am 21 with 1 no claim accident mind, though the accident didn't put the price up with Adrian Flux, with Admiral however they wanted an extra £500! it went from £920 up to £1400 when I had told them about the accident that was a year ago with no claim made and no damage!
See, I moan when people moan that there insurance is £370 a year haha, I was paying nearly that per month!!...well minus the £70 :P

Or you could pay monthly...with most companies they wont add too much interest onto the yearly price...With Admiral however, it was sometimes coming to about £600 on top of your quote to pay monthly!! paying off in full though seems to be a much better option

i was paying £700 with 1 years ncb on a 2.0 when i was 23 (i think, it has been a while :P)
i do remember a piece i was reading saying it was now cheaper for these young-uns, to hire a driving instructor to ferry them around than insure a cheapo fezzy and drive it round for a year, on average mileage ofc

I'm 26 and pay £500 odd for the V6. My best experience was an old 1971 Mini Van 850. Standard they wanted £3500 at 19 to insure it (as a second car). I decided to modify it 1100 stage 3 engine, cooper s brakes and wheels and I insured it as my only vehicle (valued in excess of £10k for £300 with AF)
