Insurance is too high on my Kia Sportage, should I replace it?
I am 80 years of age. I own a Kia Sportage CRDi 1 67 reg. It's done 30,000 miles and I am the second owner . I find insurance expensive and I want to know, if trading down to a lower insurance group from 12, what car would be worth looking for? I want a car, if smaller, with plenty of headroom.

I'm surprised to hear that you're finding insurance prohibitively expensive on your Sportage – although I suspect age is a factor here. Do try shopping around for insurance quotes (if you haven't already) before you commit to changing your car. This page might be helpful: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cheap-car-insurance/
If you do wish to replace your Sportage, it's probably worth looking at smaller SUVs. The Toyota Yaris Cross could be a good choice – it's a very cheap-to-run hybrid with plenty of interior space. You can find more of our favourite small SUVs here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/guides/best-small-suv/
