<human>: I'm a 23 yo male and started learning to drive this time last year.

At the start of January I got myself a cheap little 2002 Ford Fiesta for just over £1000 and got it insured on my provisional licence for £600. 

Fast forward to March I passed my test first time and rang up the insurance to tell them and got charged another £800 on top of this £600. Fine, I thought, I was expecting this being a new,  young driver.

Fast forward another few months to August. I left my minimum wage part time job in my home town to start a decently salaried full time job in the city. Once again, I called up insurance company to tell them my change of details and got charged another £1000 for my trouble.

Now we get to today, my Fiesta is just frustrating me due to many repairs needing made every other month, and I feel its just a matter of time before something else happens again, so I find myself looking to get a new car (Seat Leon 2012). 
I contacted my insurance to see what would happen with my insurance if I changed car, since I only have 7 weeks left on current policy, and they said they would charge ANOTHER £350. This is now a total of roughly £2750 spent on insurance for this year alone. 

I don't know much on these matters but this car in particular is relatively cheap to insure and would cost £1100 with other insurers once I have completed my year with my current provider, so this extra £350 doesn't seem right.

Is this normal and to be expected? Or is there anything I can do about this?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Already spent a fortune on car insurance, want to change car to a newer, safer car but still charged more money for remaining 7 weeks.
