Yeah Insurance on a GT TDi is £987 as opposed to £667 on the GTi. Have heard the GT Tdi's are great cars though. Im driving a 1.8 20v N/a Passat at the moment so its gonna be a better drive than that for sure!

hi mate, i love mine personally, 1.8 20v is the best of the na engines, the 2.0s are shite, even then it will be by no means fast. would really recomend the gt tdi or the 1.8t if you could afford it insurance wise
only problem ive had was altenator so far on mine

Im just hoping ive got money left after buying the car, insuring, etc.
Only Subtle things though- Coilovers, Refurb wheels in a darker colour, few things using Vag-com, etc.
Funny thing is i havnt even been to look at one yet and ive already got all of these plans for it!
