Hi all,
After a discussion with the lady yesterday and reading how much a used mini is a good buy in the new "test drive" mag I have decided to seriously think about buying a MCs.
This is quite a big leap of faith for me.
I am typical VW nutt, I have owned a MK2 golf (first car) then a MK4 polo then a MK4 Golf GTI. Love the GTI to bits, but I am finding it slightly dull as time moves on. I have had it for a year and a half, wonderful car but my mind is beggining to wonder.
The natural progression for me is to save for the new GTI which will be out in Jan, no doubt will be ace, but 19,995k for the basic version is a JOKE!
I am 23 years old and will be 24 in feb, I have 6 years NCB with 3 points. So my first question is, what will the insurance be like? I am paying 550 for a V plate GTI.
Most of you reading this will have a MCs so I would love to hear your thoughts! I always thought I would stay in the VAG range, but as you can see I am tempted!
A girl at work say a dark silver MCs, I have been a passenger in it and was very impressed, but not driven one yet. That I intend to do on a test drive in a few months.
I do a trip from Cambs to Norwich or Oxford most weekends and only a 15 mile trip to work, so I think I could get away with a supercharged 1.6
Anyway, here is my car as it is (you can guess that I would want a TOTALLY black MCs already cant you!)
Has anyone made the VW - BMW switch? *shudder! :black:
Sorry about the vague topic, but I would love to hear ANY views from you guys and please to dissing the GTI!
- looking to pay around 12k in 4-5 months
