nope bb your wrong, theyre classed as more dangerious due to the lack of visibility when overtaking ect.

Also, some countries dont have the same ruels and regs for car manufacture as the uk so insurance companies blanket all imports as high risk, regardless of where they came from.

thats cheeper than any of my cars tbh.
I pay over a grand for the cabby.

I'd be very shocked if thats gona work out cheaper for everyone but perhaps i'm wrong?

I have always paid more to insure my cars in germany and have also paid stupid money to insure german cars over here. Hmm I might have to look into this in more detial.

lhd cars I have known have always been cheaper to insure here.

That cabby will be a dream to drive. Clutch will be mega direct and smooth as will the throttle.

Driven a lhd clio amazing the difference in control response!
