how many of you are 18 + own VTS

[Pat_Vts]

just wondering

and those views on young males being 18years old and owning a saxo VTS

(not to mention insurance prices)

[Recovery]

i got my clio 172 at 19, insurance was a killer lol

dont see any harm in it

[leeroybrown]

I had at gti at 19..now that was a while back lol

[Agent-VIP]

I was looking to get a VTS when I was 18. But, insurance was a killer as i was already paying 3k+ for a VTR..

VTS is double the insurance group so.. I waited until i was 19

I know there are a few people on this site that have a VTS for their first car/being 17-18.. on their daddys insurance.

I remember wanting a VTR for my first car.. looking back.. I shouldn't have.

The insruance.. petrol.. tax.. was just a killer, not to mention my lack of driving experience.

If you're reading this.. and you're 18.. and want a VTS.. just save your pennies and get a furio.. or something similiar

[Recovery]

furio is the way to start out!

[Berg]

im 19 with vts been driving just over a year now

i dont see harm in young guns having them but wouldnt recommend as a first car tbh

[Pat_Vts]

lol tbh i think a VTS is a very good car at 18 if you can afford the insurance etc

just wondering how many members are really 18 + own VTS right now

[Mattt-VTR]

Agree with berg, i'm 18 and got a VTR and the insurance is a killer as it is, and i was getting silly quotes for a VTS, so stuck with the VTR and i am happy enough.

[Pat_Vts]

furio is the way to start out!

meh same as a VTR really

[Pat_Vts]

i got my clio 172 at 19, insurance was a killer lol

haha was looking to buy a 172 cup

until i rang bell and they said

me - kkthanxbye

[Mattt-VTR]

meh same as a VTR really

:S how, apart from the look?

[Pat_Vts]

i mean everyone is saying furio is cheaper

not really imo?

just maybe 3mpg on full tank less

£150ish off insurance as a guess?

few £££ cheaper on tax

thats about it? same to maintain as a VTR?

[Pat_Vts]

I had at gti at 19..now that was a while back lol

pls tell me how many

VTR/VTS/GTI youv had

and what mods to each lol

[adam19]

[GabbaKid]

Ooooo, yeah i will agree with that, although i haven't owned both so i couldn't honestly say, but a mate of mine has a furio and he fills up around the same.

Thought you meant as in BHP.

serious mate, the difference is enormous... tax is pretty different i would say 100quid ish a year difference, as for the petrol consumption i do agree. But insurance quotes are worlds apart. vts = 14 vtr = 7

i pay 1400 quid tpft on my vtr for a vts i was looking around 3 grandish atleast and thats for the few insurance companies that would aqccept me....

i would love a vts but screw paying stupid insurance premiums

[Pat_Vts]

[matt_vtr_15]

mafoooo sorry :(

matt fuck off you bender... </3

[Liam_]

I'll stick with my VTR tbh... no way can I justify paying £300+ road tax on a car which isn't a world apart from what I already have.

[GabbaKid]

that in full or monthly and do you have 1years no claims?

Not sure lol..

My dad takes care of all that stuff.

[Pat_Vts]

daddys boy lol

[GabbaKid]

daddys boy lol

Nah am not really.
I just prefer him to do it because I am not good at sorting stuff out like that.

[Steve_90]

[Asaxo]

Ohh thats what you think.

Keeps up with an S quite well actually.

Plus having leather seats, air-con, automatic wipers and other little features make it a much nicer car to drive.
