can't see a BMW being that much more expensive to insure than a TT
225's are group 18 in old money terms - appreciate the group is not the direct impact of insurance costs

As said with a £300 remap and DV etc they go from 225 to as much as 260.

Driving sensibly around town, you should see high 20s/low 30s in the Golf

A v6 with DSG is the way forwards, my neighbour had one and after going out in it really changed my opinion of TT's
And Quattro in the winter is only as good as the tyres you use.

on 18" wheels on summer tyres id be supprised if it makes it as far as the puma, its not a Subaru forester, it has hevily biased towards FWD setup

also over 200kg lighter without haldex system - if you can get FWD 180 - very rare
