Is it one of these you are referring to?

if so, i'd say it was pretty difficult to guage how much the insurance would be on one.
on one hand, it has a small engine and not a lot of power so it should, in theory, be relatively cheap to insure. however, on the other hand, they are rare cars made by mercedes-benz, which i can imagine would have a knock-on effect on the price of replacement parts, hiking up the insurance - why not have a look on auto trader for the registration plate of one and enter it into a price comparison website to get yourself a quote?

if i were you however i'd stick to the typical first cars, fiesta, corsa, clio, etc, but the choice of course is up to yourself.
