Anything you do to a car will increase the insurance cost so seeing as you are so young just get something you are happy with and get a year under your belt without modifying it.

Then start changing bits. Otherwise you will just pay through the nose for everything.

Get the 1.3

My first car at 18 was a 3 door red MK2 1.3.  Indeed, I still have it in my garage.  :cool:

GTI interior (now sold) and lowered and GTI'd on the outside.  For a poor university student my B reg Golf was a real head turner.  Kept it for a few years until I built up a solid NCB and then moved up.

Buy the lady's 1.3

a golf at 17 will be 2k easy.

Dont pay 2k. Its not worth a NCB.

If you can get insured with a family memeber and it works out cheaper....do that!
