To be honest I wouldn't reccomend getting a GTi, the fuel economy compared to the 1.1 206 is atrocious.
Plus a 206 GTi isn't all that quick & I had A LOT go wrong with mine.
I strongly advise you to get a turbo diesel
Lower insurance (My vRS is a group 9, GTi is 14) & lower running costs.

True. It felt fast at first.
At the old 1.1 206 struggling to do 70 with 3 people in the car.
#11: Re: How old were you? Author: pudmonkey, Location: EdinburghPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:53 am ---- Got mine when i was 26, insurance was £550.
I agree with CD-vRS though, ive had a lot of problems with mine and a GTi 138 isnt that fast imo aswell, that said if your upgrading from a 1.1 you will notice a difference obviously. Had a Clio 172 Cup before, that was the business....i crashed that though unfortunately :-(.
#12: Re: How old were you? Author: jamiea69, Location: bristolPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:55 am ---- went from a 1.1 206 , to the 180 when i was 21, to insure was 1800 quid with admiral and thats with a claim on my licence
#13: Re: How old were you? Author: RicH, Location: South East UKPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:56 am ---- Yer lol up hills i have my foot too the floor and it struggles. Cant keep up with my friends who have the likes of 1.8t VW Pasat, BMW, 106 GTI

Was thinking about a diesel. A 207 hdi, or a vw mk4 golf TDI
#15: Re: How old were you? Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:59 am ---- vw mk4's are very heavy cars for what they are. we got a mk4 golf GTI the 2.0 version. to say the least its s**t. not enough power for the hype of having GTI imo.
