Because it don't matter if you prang it. It also means that you can teach yourself some basic mechanics.
Well theres the thing of like just because you've past your test doesn't mean your a great driver. I'd consider myself fairly safe but i've had several minor (and one pretty major) crashes in the first 18 months of me driving. I'd prefer to bash up an older car then a new one!
Shut up!
Oi you
Oh, duh! Good thinking.
Awesome cars. So much fun, so good as an all-rounder. Much better than my Scooby...
Were you dropped on your head when younger or something? They are beautifully simple and elegant - not bad for a car that dates back 20-odd years!
I never had a GTi though many of my mates did. I had a GT as a first car and later had a yellow Rallye. Best fun I ever had.
I think i must of been. I bought a Punto
Why someone didn't talk me out of that one i don't know.
An extract from my old blog, after driving the Scooby and the 205GTi back-to-back - oh, and a 911 as well...
Feel free to diss the 205 - after driving a rather rare Porsche 911 and a rather tweaked and stupidly quick Impreza, I know just what I'd go for. Each and every time .
Sorry for taking this so far off topic...

It wasn't the smoothest, most powerful or easiest car I've ever driven but it was the most rewarding. It needed to be driven.
