I have just bought a golf citi, its a 1.8 gl and i am only 20 with 1 years no claims, don't know how but got insurance qoute for £720 but when i modify the qoute for a mk1 1.1cl it jumps to £900, i think its because mine is an import but its just pathetic, alot faster car but practically same shape is cheaper.
i find elephant, diamond, admeral, bell (all same company are cheap)
my qoute for £720 was from aviva so try them
Try putting girlfriends address as main address, my girlfriends address made premium rocket to over £1000 even though she lives a mile away so that might help, try your parents house etc
I found best option was to get insurance qoute before get the car but it is sooo frustrating how you have to determain your car on the insurance.
Other things to change on the qoutes could be,
where kept overnight
any mods
milliage a year
excess
do online qoutes and play about with it to find a good qoute
putting parents on the insurance even if they aint gonna use it helps i find, mine is £1200 without my mum and dad on there but £720 without
Good luck

I used one of the side insurers and they refused to give me the discount
