Does anyone know what it is?
I managed to get a quote on Direct Line as they have the Golf R listed. It was about £520 for me with a £250 excess and protected no claims. My ED30 was about £420 - but then it originally cost £23k and the Golf R is about £35k and has a few extra BHP!
That was the only company I've had a quote from - so hopefully with a bit of searching I can get it down a bit.

It's not on parkers yet http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Detail.aspx?deriv=45881
but the last 2 incarnations of the R Golf have been group 18
-
there is a new rating system out these days...

the R will be about 45 I would think..

Cool... thanks.
When I read the above article, I thought group 45 seemed a tad excessive since it said higher groups were for off road risk etc!
-
In the few sources I've seen that quote the newer groups, almost every car's insurance group seems to have been simply doubled.
There are exceptions, of course. :nerd:
MKV & MKVI GTI - was 17, now group 34
MKV .:R32 - was 18, now group 36.
MKV R - likely to be 18/36, following this logic.

just tryed to get an quote for the Golf R with my insurance "Swift Cover", who told me i would have to fit an tracker to the vehicle and then at the end told me they couldnt offer me insurance. I was to young at the age of 27!
-
Tried a quote on a golf r insurance from performance and got a quote for £450 and im 25 but its in a garage and im in the stics as you might say :cool: :cool:, is there any one here going to fit a traker to their cars ? it helped on the price and should pay for it self after 2 years o so

I got a quote from performane for over a grand but as you say no tracker. Show us some proof of your quote below £500!
here is mine

Plus you're setting your voluntary excess to £500!!
I bet I would get mine under £500 if I set my voluntary excess to £500 - but I don't think I'd fancy ever claiming if I had to pay out £750!!
Can anyone tell me how much a tracker costs? Directline didn't mention a tracker at all - but if it makes a big difference then it might be worth getting.

Not cheap then?!
I'd be looking at about £438 for the tracker, plus fitting (if thats not included), plus an additional £342 subscription fee - and thats only for the middle Tracker Horizon version!
So £780 excluding fitting... WOW!
-
I couldn't resist trying this even although I can't afford a Golf R :sad:
41, good postcode and never claimed on my insurance, been driving since 17, only £250 xs
£272 seems like a bargain for me plus going through quidco would get me the insurance for £232. Maybe I should use this as a starting point for the Mrs to see if I can get one :grin:

If I do gocompare.com and put in all my details...
Bearing in mind I had an accident this year where they paid me out over £21k (not my fault though!).
I'll be 32 in about 2 days, and my fiancee is 26. Neither of us have any convictions. Car will be kept in a private car park - but no garage. Both of us on the Golf R with a value of £35k and with no tracker...
£369.10 :grin:
The highest is £1083.04 :shocked:
I've never heard of the first few companies on the list, so would be a bit dubious... but for around the £400 mark I can get ASDA, AIG, Privilege and some other better known ones.

What is going on with my quote then, I live in a low rate crime postcode, have 7yrs no claims and have 1 other car with full no claims or 5yrs, and also have company car. Im 28 in Feb but have an SP50 which i have had for 4yrs in Jan, and have never claimed. I am also single.

Job title has an effect
And because your single. Try adding a female friend or relative it often drops by 3 figures :wink:

Mine only went down about £30 when I added my fiancee on my ED30. I added her anyway for the saving and just didn't tell her!
I will look for quotes more seriously nearer the time - but I'm quite pleased with anything under £500 to be honest!

^that maybe because shes only 26 :wink:
