it was 1 on the old, 2 on the new. 1litre yaris.. has about as much power as a pushbike :p
it is expensive, and definitely different to the mainland uk, because i've compared with people before (like nightwolf who is younger than me, has a higher spec car, and she's on about the same insurance cost) My parents insurance(s) spiked when they moved over here as well.
I remember at around the time you getting that car, I was pricing up insurance for my first year in the Yaris, and I put your reg into confused.com for me, for lolz. £8,000. D:
