Hi,

I think the short answer would be quite a lot. There are a couple of threads where people have given figures - I'll have a look for you

I got a quote of £800 for an octy vrs and £300 for a furby vrs. Guess which i`ve chosen? btw i`m 28, have 8y ncb and live in a decent area. scale things back a bit mate. A 1.8t octy would prob cost a similar amount to insure so still out of your league (unless you have ALOT of money to blow). Are you dead set on a vrs octy? Is a furby vrs too much to buy? I know octy vrs` are getting affordable now. but still hells teeth to insure

Believe it or not, the Octy RS is the cheapest car I have ever insured! My renewal was €622 fully comp, driver only, 34 tear old with full NCB. I found that some companies have not loaded the premium, whilst others have. Worth shopping around....

Just under 300 notes for me Even with the mods (magic tree air freshener and nodding dog) declared.

Suppose it's either

a) I'm an old git with a good record
b) It's not a fast, sporty, performance model
c) Combination of the 2

Furby vRS, 30 years old, living in a nice area, with the bird as a named driver, but with a carp postcode, after and accident where I had to claim on my own insurance because the other person wasn't insured, down to 1 years NCB - £550.

Just ran another quote for the coming year, no further mishaps, will be 31 - £460!!!

I'm quite pleased!

You'd be suprised...althought the emissions on my Octy vRS are higher the very low list price keeps the tax down!
I've had a primera tdi and a golf Pd estate and the vRS works about the same as these....and I know which I prefer
Mind you the insurance is a bit steep though full business use inc carraige of samples and any driver isn't cheap for group 16

Firstly I should say I'm 45 with a clean licience and record and will be shopping around for insurance shortly on my standard Fabia vRS.

Tried to get my gal onto the policy last summer but current company was not keen on her one 'no fault' accident two years previously. Therefore I did some searching with a view to cancelling and going elsewhere but the figures didn't seem to make sense at the time.

However, I did get a fully comprehensive quote for the car with her (36) as additional driver from Tesco online at £340 last August which I thought was quite fair. Don't know what their policy would be if I were to mod the car though.

I'm with them and very happy. Mods will cost a bit extra, but they tend to be pretty knowledgeable about the common mods (or are happy to refer to the underwriters if not). What sort of mods were you thinking of doing? May be worth ringing them directly and asking how much extra it will cost....

Thanks for the tip Chris.

I haven't got any fixed plans, was thinking maybe the front suspension brace and perhaps lowering the suspension by about 1" all round (a knowledgeable dealer recommended this recently).

Then I'd be looking to push the engine performance up toward the 150bhp spec of the VW group cars that deliver this level of output from the 1.9Tdi PD (i.e. the Cupra & Bora).

Any advice greatfully received.
