MKII Coupe S - 2 years
MKIV 1.4 8V - must be nearly 4 years
I joined up here after I bought it although I had been lurking but not registered for a year before that when I had the MKII

plus the tax is high and the insurance was higher than my previous polo! i found the ibiza and all is well, low tax, cheapish insurance, very good fuel economy, and fairly quick! what more could i need lol

1.4TDI 9N3 for 2 years now. Thinking about getting a GTI, but the price, insurance and fuel costs are making it a tough decision.
