Wow! I guess either theft rates or boy racer types are driving up R32 insurance costs...

If I had bought a MK-V GTi instead, my insurance would have doubled!

I had the same issue when I was looking. It was going to cost almost double for insurance if I got a Jetta/GLI instead of the A3

April

He was under 25 with a clean record, and the car was under his parent's policy with him being a secondary driver. Went from $1000 a year to over $4000 a year once the kiddies started falling off the road with them.

The A3 is cheaper to insure than a GTi (for me).

I ended up saving money by buying an A3 instead of a fully loaded GTI just because the GTI's insurance was significantly more.

BTW I'm paying $190 a month with an absolutely clean record... living in philly sucks. Being 23 doesn't help either. I'm going to reduce my coverage to shave a little off but I'll still be paying at least 160.

boston, dc, ny, LA, all have higher rates. way higher. so don't complain about philly

what insurance company?
have you shopped around?

I went from allstate to state farm about 5 years ago. saved a bundle.

what color is your A3?

Haha so its a WAGON...hehe.

absoluTT A3

Yep, GTI turned out a little more for me too. I like the A3 wolf in disguise advantage. ;-)
