just changed from a 2.0l sport primera worth £3000 to a marea 1.6sx and it cost me £108 more to insure. the fiat is only worth a grand if that. are fiats normally dear to insure.
Most seem to be in the same or lower insurance categories as the competitors, IIRC 1.6 merea is a group 6/7 which is pretty low (considering there are 22 groups).
