Vr6 = fastest mk3, most expensive mk3, high insurance premiums alot higher than a 16v mk3 even tho there the same insurance group.

0-60 - 7.4secs
max speed = 140mph ish

V6 engine probably costs more to service than a normal 4cylinder.

Black_Gti's figures are right but,

Insurance is not too much higher, i found it was a extra ?100.

Service is also slightly higher, but there's no cam belt to change so you save a bit there.

But yeah costs are more.  I'd say take a GTI and add 10 - 20% on everything.

However it is completely worth it as they are great.
