Just becuase a car is QUICK doesn't mean it has to be driven quickly. I mean no offence honestly mate, but fair enough young drivers are "statistically" more likely to crash. So what does it matter if i crash in a lupo at slow speed or in a fiesta at low speed. Not every young driver thrashes their car. And i know I certainty wont. your telling me to have a small engine car in order to learn the ropes. Why cant i learn the ropes in a nippy car but just drive it slow. I am very risk averse. But i am a VDub enthusiast and know a gti is a modern classic. And i will retian the money i spend on the car (not that il be looking to sell it anyway) but anyway i mean no offence I respect all od your feedback and past experience but not everyone wants to drive fast, my mum is an example of this. She drives a cooper s and wont go over 50 in a 70 zone haha

Yeah thanks mate, cant see myself writing one off. It would be such a waste of a "enthusiasts" car. I am in the south and will let you know if i need any work done. Gonna start looking for them soon as want a clean one (un modded and prefferably full service history) but any way nice to see im not the only one who has or had one for a first car.

Cheers guys been thinking about your comments the main thing is in order to get a GTI insured cheap is to have a black box. Surely this would allow to drive "safely" otherwise my insurance will be revoked. So should I still not get one, even with a box?

I am not a idiot, this is the typical response by everyone. I just really want one because how nice it looks. i am very sensible person ? And i can't justify spending my hard earned cash on something i dont want

Why do you not have to pay tax?

Hey guys, i am nearly 17 and i am obviously looking for my first car. I have always loved Lupo GTI and was pleasantly suprised by the insurance quote. Considering it was £1900. This was only £150 more than 1.4 TDI and 250 more than the 1.0 lupo. what are your guys thoughts on this. I am not saying its cheap, but compared to say many other cars its soo cheap. thanks for info in advance
