registration tax 1,9 TDI (most popular model) : 123 euros
registration tax GTI 200 bhp: 2500 euros
registration tax GTI "30 years" 230 bhp : 5000 euros !! ( highest amount possible !)
annual tax will only be 252€ tdi / 328€ gti / 328€ gti "30 years" , so that's ok
insurance ... well me insurer looked worried when I told him I was getting a 200bhp car.
when you're under 30 (I'm 25), it will cost a fortune... thank God I have a clean sheet
I've only seen 3 GTI's around here , 2 of them where French, other one was the VW test-car
