vw golf gti
Research by insurance company SwiftCover.com has revealed that motorists are paying over the odds for motor insurance when choosing flashy hot hatch GTI style cars over similar standard versions of the same make and model.
This is no real surprise and has always been the case particularly as the high end versions offer better performance and generally all round better specifications. Indeed it could be argued that the sporty versions often offer better safety systems than the standard model.
None the less the report points out that in the example of a 30 year old male with five years no claims discount, it would cost £1,000 to purchase cover on a VW Golf GTi, compared to less than half of that cost to insure the VW Golf S model.
The study says that on average motorists would save themselves £513 per year on insurance by choosing standard model cars over the much more tempting sporty versions.
You pays your money, you takes your choice!
