I don't have any dept I'm 19 so don't really have any of that

GTi's aren't that bad on insurance, mine was marginally more than a HDi to insure

Try a quote on one
theyre not bad at all too insure.
RE: What car to buy? - Midnightclub - 02-07-2014
Tbh I'd have thought it wouldn't be too much worse on fuel than the 1.4, because you use less throttle getting around due to the higher torque/capacity etc..
I averaged about 25-30mpg driving one daily, but on the motorway they aren't bad on fuel, some see 40+mpg.. really depends on your driving style and whether it's largely town based etc..
RE: What car to buy? - 1616six - 02-07-2014
I'd recommend a HDI, reasonable power with good economy.. you'll love it compared to your 1.4 I can assure you! Couldn't you technically fly from Brizzle to Stansted? Tom might even pick you up from there...

Hmm true or even a train I think a HDI will be better insurance than a GTi6 is £450 a month for me! A HDI is only £240 which is only £20 more than what I'm paying now!
RE: What car to buy? - 1616six - 02-07-2014
There's your answer! Toms is an ideal example for you IMO as it's had anything it needs done to it thats past usual DIY

RE: What car to buy? - welshpug - 02-07-2014
if you think a 1360 306 uses a lot of fuel, you're in for a while world of pain when you buy a gti6

RE: What car to buy? - puglove - 02-07-2014
I love the way welsh pug just assumes you have debts!! LOL
But anyway HOW MUCH???? £220 a month for a 1.4 what does it cost you a year??? That is a fecking ra*e. I suppose its the joys of getting old you dont realise how much younger people a beimg taken for a ride. If it makes you feel any better i insure a gti6 upto 260bhp for £40 a month
Go hdi mate well worth for an extra £20
