im well confused i jus got myself a quote for a G40 for the hell of it ( i cant afford to buy one at the moment but i thaught id do it to see what kind of silly price there wanting to insure me for

im 20 with no no clamis and paying £1700 for my 1.4 8v mk4 ( S reg)
and i got a quote for a mk3 g40 and they want £1300 or £984 with 1 yrs NCB

now i am confuzzed.

how can a 93bhp mk3 G40 be cheaper to insure than a mk4 60bhp how why.

Before I had the Bumper smoothed I was paying just over £1800 on my GTi, I'm 19 with 0 no claims (I was only a named driver on the last policy)

That sounds expensive! Who are you with?
