LincolnLupo Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I'd definately get the 1.4 if it's in as good a condition as the 1.0.I drove a 1.4 16v standard before buying the 1.4 16v sport and while not exceptionally fast it's got enough "go" to be fun to drive.The 1.0 in comparison wouldn't be as much fun and you'd end up wanting to change it fairly soon.With just £100 difference between the two, no contest. Next year the difference in price would prob be even smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scally Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 yea,when i went to the vw garage to look at the cars there was a sport sitting there with a v reg plate and i was like HOW MUCH IS THAT?!?! and the guy said oh thats not for sale its an 05 with a private plate. i was very sad!!

LincolnLupo Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 My V plate sport will be for sale very soon (as soon as I can find a GTI worth buying). Would only be about £3500 as well but I live in Lincoln so a fair way from you.The difference between a standard 1.4 and a 1.4 16v sport is large. Very happy I got the sport not the 1.4 standard (time for a 1.6 GTI now though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> )The 1.4 sport has double the power of the 1.0 though (100bhp, 1.0 is 50bhp and 1.4 is 75bhp), so insurance for a new driver might be a little OTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scally Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 sports are like so rare to come by, just like gtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnLupo Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 don't need to tell me that!!when I bought mine it was the only sport I could find for sale in the UK and I had to have it shipped down from Aberdeen to my local reg vardy garage (doncaster).

scally Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 insurance would only be about £1400 with pass plus for a sport ,so that aint so bad really!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnLupo Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I'd already been driving for 1 year by the time I bought it (as a named driver) and I'm now 24 (couldn't be bothered to do test when I was younger).However I got the sport for £710 from norwich union, you may want to give them a call, they were nearly £300 cheaper than the other companies (AA etc). In fact the AA were second best price wise and quoted me £712 for the standard 1.4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
