UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Can somebody help me...i'm undecided I'm not sure whether to go for a '91 GT Coupe (standard) or an '83 Mk1 Golf GTi with (little mods) and does need work. At the moment i'm swaying towards the GT as i'm only 20 and the insurance should be cheaper (i'll be using it as a 2nd car too).

Help!!

Best thing to do about the insurance issue is to shop around, the "standard" and "Polo" being the keywords in favour of the Polo.

Golf's are more expensive to insure as a general rule, just because of the name in some cases and the fact that here is a little "i" after the GT will automatically put insurance up high.

To be honest we can't decide for you, we can cast our oppions but we will be requiring some pictures and some more details.

Hi give a company called H.I.C a call they gave me a bonus where they would give me no claims on my polacy that i have built up on my other car. I run a polo gt as a second car which is played with quiet alot and i am also 20 i have insurance limited to 3000miles a year and it is £522 third party fire and theft i think it was an extra hundred to have it limited to 5000 mile but i didn't need it

Got the be the polo

Ouch, im paying 650 fully comp on my ´93 GT coupé and im 19 and can do up to 8k social and commuting. It´s my everyday car.

It´s with elephant, far cheaper than everyone else i could find! Just get a quote on both.
Obviously asking on a polo forum, the majority of answers you will get will be the GT but if your up for the work needing doing on the GTI then personally i be tempted to go for that!

Depends on the work needed to the golf, but I think I'd sway that way - the mk1 is such a cool car.

Thats the car
there are a couple of mods in the process at the mo some nice polished strut braces are in the post and i've got a polished bailey header tank to go on when i get round to making a bracket for it i've been trying to tidy the engine bay up too just having some running problems at the mo but after playing all saturday afternoon i recon i've found the fault

I'm pay nearly £800.00 TPFT on my mk2 1.3 cl! I'm 21 in a few weeks too.

try quinn direct for a quote, im 17 and theyre the only company to insure me on my polo gt. but they quoted me the same price on a golf synchro 1.8 4x4,a which is strange considering my age lool.


but defo get the polo!.

I pay £186 p.a fully comp on my 1ltr sq back but i'm an old git - 31 , as for which car mk1 or polo gt , i'd have the gt cos they will keep up with an 8v gti golf and you can do some sweet mods for f all , and the mk1 golf is getting on (20 years +) i've had 2 mk1 golf gti's a 1.6 and a 1.8 and i put loads of money into them and got sick of that so i sold them cos i'd of put shiz loads more into them to get them right , if you want a mk1 golf buy one thats mint and had shiz loads spent on it (£4000 +) if not dont get one, buy a gt drop it put some new shoes on it and you have a quick fun car that stands out from the other small hatch backs .
