Anything korean with no street cred will be cheaper to insure. Something like a picanto, i10 or getz. Cheap and far more reliable than a corsa/fiesta/punto etc.

This. I'm 18 and drive an old Hyundai Accent. Its quicker than most of my (contemporary) friends' cars and the insurance is less than theirs.
