Seeing as the insurance is up for renewal on my mk4 in 3 weeks and my favourites list is full of online quotes at the moment (plus i'm bored at work) I had a look at insurance on the new Mk5 GTI.
The online quote systems list this as a 2004 GTI 200 (as in 200bhp) which is in insurance group 17E
Here's the results
Date of birth 28/12/1980 , 4 years ncb, 2004 GTI 200 3dr
Admiral ?1328
Directline ?1037
Privelege ?893
Just for a comparison, Privelege quoted ?737 for a standard 150bhp 1.8T GTI Mk4.
I could've tried Budget, AXA etc... but i'd already laughed at their ?2000+ quotes on the mk4
