    hi, I've got a new style ka zetec and its in group 2 (which is one of the reasons I looked at it).

    TBH your best bet is to spend 10minutes putting different cars into a comparison site to see what the quotes come out like.

    Are you comparing like with like? Is the Corsa not quite a bit bigger?

    There was a post on here a couple of weeks ago by someone that had bought a 1ltr Corsa and found it to heavy, too thirsty and sluggish, someone will search it out for you ;)

    thanks all
    not to bothered about it being smaller than a corsa due to it is very rare there will be more than 1 person in the car at a time
    just liked the look of them and they are cheap to run

    New Ka and Fiat 500 are made in the same factory on the same production line.

    I am not sure if its just round here but I must see hundreds of the 500s and have hardly seen any Ka's.

    Think the price went up massively with the new model but I would look at the 500 they have much more personality than the Ka's I think.

    i think my daughter will have to buy a much older car and go on her own insurance just had a quote back to put her on its just over £3,000 due to her being 17
    just thought it would be easier car sharing as we did not want the cost of running another car

    thanks

    Inactive I suggest you stop all this FIAT bashing, it is getting rather boring and is completly unfounded.
