Title: easy question, insurance on 8v and 16v
Post by: whileoceanasleeps on 16 December 2012, 01:03: ok quick question cos i'm lazy and can't be arsed to get a quote :)

i think i know the answer to this but does anyone know if insurance is more expensive for 16v golfs rather than 8v? obviously 16v has more power but if you do know...let me know!

cheers

pretty sure though 16v is more expensive, 2.0 8v was more expensive than 1.8 8v....

i guess mk3's are a bit more boy racer than mk5's hence higher insurance
