What Car - for my mate?

[Toms306]

As I found out yesterday, VW's and VAG cars in general are actually a tonne more to insure over comparatively similar powered French/Jap/GM cars, which has swayed me away from Golfs big time. Scene tax is just everywhere on them, but they are nice cars!

Totally agree there.... Look at a '54 plate mondeo or Vectra with 150/130 diesel engines for example, you get a lot more for your money than an equivalant golf 150pd that costs twice as much!! Hence why I'm now looking at Mondeos and Vectra's lol.

Plus insurance is like 10 groups higher.

Tax is cheaper though, I havent found another diesel with 150bhp standard that only costs £130 a year to tax!
