Whats the cheapest most fun golf for a 17 year old

OH ok did not know you had to be 25. And the budget is about up to 1500

What about for insurance?

[Khare]

The way insurance is going you'll be lucky to insure most stuff for less than £2000. Plenty of people I know are paying over £3000 for cars that two/three years ago cost under £2000 to insure. Friend of mine is paying £2400 for a bog standard 1.4 Mk3 golf, he's just passed this last week so.

mental!!! I passed at 17 first car was a black 106 gti and payed £1100 for insurance. I did write it off in 5 weeks though 
Then got a vts and it went down to 865 
Sometimes it's good to be old

the 1.3 mk2 is a group 7 insurance that should be cheap. although i only pay 600 quid a year for mk3 gti and im 25 and i dont have any no claims bonus as its out of date

I had a 1.6 MK3 as a first at 18 and had it lowered.

Was pretty fun, although I'm sure some sort of 1.4 106 would have been far more fun, I liked the solidity of the Golf.

Plus the 1.6 lump made it much faster then all my mates cars, all but one with a Mk4 2l GTI but even then I was off at the lights quicker.

Then you look back and laugh at yourself comparing who has the quickest tortoise.

Was fun though and even though it's a heavy car, lift off oversteer was always an option. 

EXPENSIVE first cars to run though. A 1.3 auto Micra = £1500 saving a year.

Thanks for all the advice

When asking about classic insurance a few people said they was like 20 odd and had classic insurance, but for you to get a gti is no chance lol! Just get a any old run around for a year, the cheapest to insure, thats what i done then at 18 got my self a 180bhp a3 tqs  Insurance being £1800. but now with the increases I doubt I'd be ablwe to insure my mk2 gti when it's done unless I get it done on a classic policy 

Just get a tiny 1l in something small, nothing you'll get now will be fast anyway lol

A Mini for the first year they are fun trust me 
Once you have a no claims bonus under your belt then consider a Golf
This reminds me when the cars involved was a XR2 or an Orion LX I hear you say  :embarassed:

Mk2 1.3 cL style an nippy too, I sold one to my mates now wife when she passed her test at 17 an she had it insured fc for £900

Do I get bonus points saying a golf cart? (it seems to be the only thing that's affordable to young un's!)
