I did come across a quote for 5K, i was thinking about getting it in my mothers name and having me put down as the second driver.
You are in the UK, it is now pretty much illegal o go down a s a secondary driver but use the vehicle full time. A friend of my godfather was pulled over and taken to court because he was a named driver on his car. Plus, when after a few years of being named you do finally have your own policy, prices are still going to be through the roof as you have 0 no claims etc.
It isn't worth being a named driver, the loophole is being worked on and do you want to end up in court?

Stanced- wrote insurance wont be high. they did that for a reason. it has 4 doors not much hp on books but also a small engine. youll be fine for insurance!

It has a 2.6L engine and I believe they range from 192-231 horsepower. When they first came out they where seen as a 1.3L but the insurance companies wised up. Plus they are in a high insurance group, which will make it rather expensive for a new driver and it's in a very high tax band (500 a year).

I understand it'll probably be like 3+ Grand for the insurance, but i don't mind monthly payments.

Unless you know someone high up at an insurance company it will be a lot more than 3k, probably 8k+

I was quoted 2k on an RX-8 and I have two years no claims.

Apparently its perfectly legal to be put down as a second driver and drive the car full time...

How would they even know if i was the only one driving it or not?...

Get anything that's cheap to repair. As it's a first car, you're more likely to have a collision, i recommend a Citroen Saxo, good sporty little cars. My older cousin has one. They also have cheap body and performance modifications if you're into that.

I have drove before, i am a very very cautious driver.
