£300-£400 maybe less and i have used either bell admiral or elephant last 3 years one each year as they tend to beat eachother on price each year  :laugh: Also try adrian flux etc try go compare and all the comparison sites and then ring them up direct and knock more money off  :smiley:

wow, thats a good price.  Im 31 and been driving for 7 years and have 7 years NCB.  I got some quotes of gocompare for a mk5 gti 2.0 the lowest one with a low excess was £1685.00 or something like that, others quote were between £1200 and £2000+ with the lower ones having a compulsory excess of £3000.

I also tried another golf I think a 1,6 sport with alloys and tints added and that came to £1554 or something around those figures.

I love the look of the GTI mk5 but the insurance is a killer.  I see some people on here paying half what Im paying, maybe they have looked in the right places lol.  I havent tried any of the specialist insurers or anything yet as those original quotes put me right off a GTI. 

Right now I have a Peugeot 206 and Im only paying £477 for insurance for it from my renewal at the beginning of the month... quite a leap for a gti over a grand more.

Sorry for the ramble maybe I should make my own thread? sorry

Admiral have always been the best for me.  Even their renewal was lots cheaper than anyone else.
