Bloody hell.  There should be a law that no one under 25 can drive anything over 150bhp.... its just not wise.  Dunno how you afford the insurance either.

I know its not the GTI but you should see the age of some of the guys driving £50k plus TTRS on the TTforum. Half of them were ranging from 19 -25. As you say, how they could afford the car let alone the running costs was beyond me

It's just not smart either.... I'm not just thinking safety here but you also want to ease yourself into cars not barge in with brand new powerful machines.  Drive a banger you need to fix and look after for 5 years, don't spoil driving by starting out where few ever get to!  I also suspect it doesn't do too well for the whole humility factor, but that's obviously down to the individual...

I'm probably upsetting a few of our younger friends so I'll shut up now.

Thing is though, if you could afford something like that at that age why wouldn't you? I'm not saying you should but why not??

I can fully understand at that age wanting to have a really smart car if that's what your into but the smart thing is to be saving for a deposit for house if your still living with your parents. The end of the day a house is an asset and car aint

I fully agree with this now i'm the ripe old age of 33  :P  but all i wanted when i was 21 was an awesome car! And couldn't care less about a house! Shame i couldn't afford either but looking back now obviously saving for a deposit for a house makes more sense but i know full well if i could've afforded a dogs dangle berries car i would've got one no question! >:D
