Can you recommend some cheap to insure cars for young drivers?

What cars are reasonable to insure for 18 or 19 year olds?

You want something that's small, cheap to fuel and backed by a decent reputation for reliability.

I'd recommend:

Ford Fiesta 1.25-litre: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/fiesta-2008
Toyota Aygo 1.0-litre: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/aygo-2014
Suzuki Swift 1.2-litre Dualjet: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/suzuki/swift-2010
