For my dad to insure himself on my MK3 16v with not even 1 years no claims will cost around £250.

How old is your dad just out of interest?

34/36 mpg is easily acheivable as is 130 quid for insurance... just because you live in a sh!t area and yours is high doesnt mean other peoples are too.

Sorry but I think anyone 32 years old will stuggle to get insurance for a GTI for £130.

Mpg wise, maybe but 32 tops is around right for a 8V

£130 to insure a gti fully comp? what utter sh!te  :rolleyes:
Unfortunately the internet is full of choccy chatters, it doesn't impress anyone  :grin:

Thanks mate, at last someone with some sense.

yup.

And before you say anything, my dash display is spot on. I've tested it with the brimming it test.

Looks a sweet car seen it up for sale for a while now,his insurance does seem cheap but he may live in a low risk area and he may have a high excess set to bring the price down he wouldnt have it on a classic insurance as mk3s are not old enough  for this type of insurance.MPG wise I would say he is spot on my VR6 would do 22 mpg round town and my 16v about 28 mpg depending how they were driven of course so 35 for a 8v sounds right to me.Looks a sweet car any how I would have had a look if it was a 16v myself...

And what run was that? urban? extra urban? motorway? 40mph in 5th gear?
There is no way you would get that as an average. 40mpg+ as an average are diesel figures.
