I'm 46 so possibly one of the oldest GTI owners, I paid for my car with cash outright and am paying £360 fully comp but that is because I had 2 accidents in my Peugeot due to hitting black ice, nothing I could have done but obviously 2 claims makes a big difference to the policy.  I guess I'm lucky it's not any higher than it already is!!

If you are in the position where you can do either right now, you are in a better position than many...

I'll forget you offended the MKV...

I bought my MKV at 26, with only 2 years NCB, 3 points and I paid £900 FC. That does include the missus aged 33, though :wink:

I'm saving for a MKVI GTi just now and if SWMBO stopped demanding money for shoes and soft furnishing, i'd get there quicker!

We've had threads like this over on the MKV section.. if you can afford it, do it. :afro:

Bricks n' mortar will be a better investment.

Indeed!

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Think yourself lucky id do anything to pay £360 for insurance on a GTI, i will have to be paying upwards of £1000!

im 21.. and I will recieve my gti in 40 days... is the gti your first car?

The GTI will be my second car, i have a Fiesta Zetec S at the moment (dont laugh) Was looking at a Focus ST before but the GTI just seems like a much better car!

I'm older if that makes you feel better....50...Still have my own teeth and hair. Again paid cash. Insurance will be low £200's. My car is on its way.

As the saying goes "There's no pockets in a shroud". To be honest it all depends on your circumstances. The sensible answer is go for the house. But when I was your age and if I could have afforded it, it would be the car.
