You know the my08 is a ugly and slower than a bug right?

To be honest, don't waste your money on the insurance, get something cheaper to insure and get a fezza/porka/STi with the savings you'll be making

The look is a bit subjective, I quite like the look of the 08 hatch, and I will enjoy my improved comfort when driving around. I also don't know about it being slower, all accounts have pointed to it being slightly faster than a stock bug?
It won't be stock for long.

I'm not really sure how that works? Buy a cheap car to insure, and then drive around an uninsured expensive rex?

It means buy a bunky, and save up for something abit more rewarding than an 08 hatch. Dont get him wrong though, their are some decent examples such as trolleys car.

Try AMMI, i was paying 2.2k a year for full comp on my 06 STI (i was 19 at the time)

Ah yeah, fair enough. I have seen some really nice examples of this car being done right, and with a few $$ it will be nice and quick too. Feels rewarding enough to me, the car is like a mix between the conservative driver meeting clients at work and the weekend guy having some fun. I like both haha

Slower than a Bugeye Sti maybe Dave, but the 08 would be 0.5 second a quicker over the 1/4 mile. The weights are within about 5kg of each other with slightly more power and lots more torque for the 08.

Long story short, a bee's dick of difference either way and both are as arsehole ugly as one another

At least I'm not breaking the habit, from one ugly model to another

2014 model should be next on the list then.

^LOL Watch out for the thread in 2020

Ended up going with AAMI again for the time being at least. $230 a month, $2000 excess, and I've had a pleasant experience with the 02 with them. They were cool with me listing mods on the last car so hopefully it's all fine when I start throwing parts into the new one. Will see soon enough.

Thanks for all the help and advice guys, appreciate it

... Don't waste money on insurance but go buy a ferrari or a Porsche...

Good advice
