I'm getting a phase 2 VTS soon. Got up to £2k to spend but ideally want to be spending £1500.
I'm 24, 2 years ncb, SP30 just over 4 years ago, at fault accident 2 years ago and got a quote of £480 FC with the ability to drive over cars TPFT

Try Elephant for insurance, was cheaper than the rest for me on my gti and for my mate's VTS.
VTR's are a fairly low insurance group for what they are.

Yes, but like anything...you get used to it. I really like them, just not grown up enough for me anymore.

You are a retard, sorry. The VTS is just as much a chav car, and oh, wait... So is a Corsa  The VTR will be far cheaper on insurance, and obviously not as quick. But still as quick as any B

Mate I'm 6"4 with size 12/13 feet. I never ONCE felt the pedals were too close. Even when I first stepped in mine.

Last time I talk to myself... If you go have a look at a few, try to get one that isn't lowered. It doesn't matter a damn who has lowered it, the axle still might fall apart unfortunately.

cheers for the advice,

i bought mine lowered, failed its first mot due to the rear beam. for piece of mind i'll be changing the bearings straight away when i get a vts. if the bearings are on their way they can be replaced but when they go completely they'll fuck the beam as well
