Is that a good first plane? I am wondering how much insurance will
run for such an airplane (I am IFR with 230+ hours, working on
Commercial ticket).

It's OK for purely building time (cross-country VFR, for example). I
have some actual IFR time in a 152 and "unsettling" best describes my
experience. I just felt there wasn't enough reserve power to help me
get out of a bad situation.
