Saxophonias, usually car insurance in Portugal costs medium of 250€.

Its higher/lower depending on drivers age, number of acidents, car's power/displacement, but it goes around that value.

I had this information about England from Top Gear :mrgreen:
Then i realised that for a young driver some cars might be ridiculously cheap, but with outrageous insurance fees it's almost the same, or even more expensive to own a car.

I just saw the Top Gear eposide where they tried to buy and insure a car imposting they were 17 year olds with a budget of 2500 pound. FAIL. Some insurances went as high as 8000 pound, being 15 times the price of the car itself...

Can't say insurance is easy in the Netherlands (and I have had a whole lot of trouble insuring my track car since I was stupid enough to mention it was a track car at one point). But right now I have the EJ9 all risk insured for ~400 euro with 3 years no damage. The EJ1 is insured for approximatly 380 for theft and storm damage etc. But I lost a year damage free on that one :mrgreen: . I crashed the EJ1 this year into a traffic light (first accident ever in 9 years, but before insurance was on my parents as well :D ). Strangly enough they did not penalty the EJ9's insurance, happy with that.
