Whats the cheapest most fun golf for a 17 year old
« on: 14 November 2011, 16:17 »
This has probably been done a million times but I would like a golf and im not sure which one would be good for a first time driver. It has to be fun and cheap to insure. does any one know which one would be best.

Those two don't normally go together.

Small engined mk2 would probably be the most fun, as they weigh so little.

No idea, insurance varies so much person to person. Older cars can be expensive though due to lack of security features.

Just do some searches on autotrader, then get some quotes on some comparison sites to give you an idea of what to expect.

Ok thanks. I heard that if a car is over 25 years of age it can get classic car insurance and its really cheap meaning I could get a mk2 gti cheaply. but its sounds a bit to good to be true.

I think you need to be at least 25 years old to get classic insurance.

Start with a Polo or if funds allow a Lupo
