Own a VW GTI at the age of 20?

Question

Hello everybody! I currently have a used VW Golf VI with 105 HP and would like to buy a used VW GTI with 230 HP with the money I have saved!

I am 20 years old and have my driver's license for exactly 2 years. Do you think it's too early? I would just like a car with more horsepower, just wanted to hear your opinion on it.

Come from Austria. I hope the insurance (only take liability) is not too expensive ?!

Are there other things I should look out for when buying a GTI?

What is better? Gasoline or diesel? Or does it matter?

Thank you for your advice and opinions! :)

Answer 1

If you can afford it, why not? But would take partial insurance because of game damage and theft.

VW diesels are very popular, I've heard everyone's been talking about them lately

When buying, you have to pay attention to the same thing as with all other used cars. Research and rule out common problems.

Answer 2

I am 22 and have been driving a Mercedes CLS with over 270 hp for almost 2 years. If you feel like driving a big car, you have the money and can handle it responsibly then get the box and live your life I wish you have fun with it.
