Pugs are cheap insurance, dont look at the really small cars as every new driver buys one.... hence lots of crashes and expensive insurance rates for those cars.

It's not the car that's necessarily the most important factor. The insurance companies will be looking at you, your vehicle, your occupation, your housing status, your employment status, your history, and myriad other factors.
Don't forget, also, that each of those factors can be examined in minute detail. People focus far too much on insurance group and engine size when making suggestions, but it's often irrelevant, ie:
Interesting anomaly here - a two seater, or single seater car may cost less to insure than a comparable multi-seater of similar risk and performance for the sole reason that should you have a big smash, you are likely to kill or seriously injure fewer people as you can physically fit fewer in the vehicle. Small vans like Escorts and Vauxhall Combos are often cheap to insure, and classic insurance on cars over 15 years old can save you a packet, and you should still build up no claims with most policies.

dont laugh - but look at a smart car - you can get a fair amount of kit in the form of bags/rucksacks in and they are mega cheap to run and insure. safer than many other smaller cars. we have one which has done 30,000 miles in the 2 and a half years we have owned it, without a problem! it sits at 70-75 mph on the motorway and tops out at 85mph (restricted). quite a laugh to drive as well - I'm 6' 2" and fit in no problem.
