Buy the house first,the house will make you money in the long run.There will be plenty of time for a new gti or the next new car to hit the roads,sounds old and boring i know   

Saying that at 19 i had a peugeot 205 1.6 gti special edition

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

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.

Bricks n' mortar will be a better investment.

Indeed!

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

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!

Exactly my thinking, We only live once afterall dont we?

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.
