CBF 250 and a Levin ZR
Hate to break it to ya, but 25 isn't the golden age for insurance anymore :( It's more of a sliding scale till you're 40... Suggest you get a few quotes before you start looking at cars, you might be surprised.

This is coming from a number of insurance sales reps and my own personal experience of getting quotes.

Out of what you picked, Z clubby by miles, VE looks like something that escaped the abortion bucket, looks big, chunky, cheaply made etc.

thank you :)

I've gotten a few quotes. They're certainly affordable, actually less than what I was paying last year for my V6 VX.

go a wrx ;)

Test drove a rex, I'm 6"3 - so decided against it pretty quick. Don't like 4 pots either. I'm looking for more cylinders, not less.

If you have the money for the VE SSV then i'd go for that, the reason being is that its a safer car and they have spent much money on it to make it better then the older commodores. But i have to agree a WRX is still awesome, you'd be mad not to at least test drive one :)

E-Series 1 Clubsport R8

You might not agree with the looks of the car (which I quite look, its different, but its an opinion, everyone entitled to one), but technologically and mechanically, the E-Series is miles ahead of the Z.
If OP's buying a car for looks, then Z's the way to go, I love the way they look. But for a car as a whole, the E-Series is quality. An awesome drive, and the steering and handling is much more superior to the Z's.

VE SSV :D although just because your not 25 doesn't exactly make insurance cheaper, there's still a high price for a V8.

Get out there and do some tyre kicking at the dealers, test as many different cars as you can so then you can make up your own mind on what you prefer.
