How old are you?

[chrispyvrs]

Yesterday i saw a fairly old guy, must have been in his 70s in a vRS. I see a lot of older people in normal fabias and octavias etc. Just wondering what the age of other vRS drivers is? Im only 19 and i still get a lot of stick from my mates, although they soon shush when they get to go in it and see it in person!haha

[Ryan90VRS]

same age as you mate.

my mates are the same too

[Guest BigJase88]

got my first vRS at 19

Im now 22 and getting on a bit

[haithamali]

I'm 26, but Insurance here is not related to age - just a simple calculation based on the car's value.

Must cost you a bit to insure your car!

[Tech1e]

I was 28 when I got my first vRS now 34. Over the hill now lol

[JesVRS]

I'm 20. I'm a bit of a grumpy old man though - I listen to Radio 4, currently drive a SAAB 9-5 and live with 2 cats and the girlfriend in a country cottage. Stick from mates for driving a Skoda Fabia? You've not experienced the kind of stick i have mate. :p I'm on the hunt for a Fabia atm, and know as soon as i do find one, the mocking will commence.

Mental. I'm paying £1780 TPF&T for my 9-5, its my first car. That was only £300 more than a 1.25 Zetec Fiesta though. So, i didn't really care. I got the car from my uncle, so it made sense... despite still buying it from him for £950. W****r.

[chrispyvrs]

To be honest, my insurance is actually really good. Well worth paying it for a vRS then a chavved up fiesta or something. Its better than what it was for my zr and just a tad more than a zetec--s

[JesVRS]

I have been quoted £900 fully comp for the VRS... when i get it :(

[brett_j]

im 20 and had my vrs a few months, insurance went up to £1600 fully comp, although i had a fiesta zetec s before and that was £1500 fully comp...

[VRSDanny]

had a swift from being 17-19, then bought my vRS, did car sales and drove a lot of other cars, but as far as being a comfy, easy drive when i want, to then giving me thrills, well, I havent found anything thats as much bang for your buck yet, im now 23!

P.S. If i manage to afford a TVR T360 or Vauxhall VXR8 ill let you know though

[Bezzy]

I'm 23, bought my vRS at 22 though.

I've seen some fairly old people driving around in vRS's, always suprises me to be honest, flashed a guy who was 50+ the other day, he gave me a wave back though, so still good guys!!

[Slamby]

37 :(

Only upside is that insurance is cheap(er).

When I was 19, the car to have was a Vauxhall Nova 1.3 SR. 75 whole HP, no power steering, no electric windows or central locking, no ABS or traction. Great little car. Mine was banana yellow, with a very tasteful (!?) brown check interior.

Kids these days blah blah blah......

[JesVRS]

There are 4 VRS i see on my commute daily! 2 are driven by middle aged women and one by an old guy, maybe 70's. The other is a red one, driven by a young guy maybe 20's -30's..

[Funky Fab]

I'm 28. But I do see a lot of old people driving Fabia's and even vrs's. Had 2 fords and 2 beamers. My Fabia vrs is the best yet!

Insurance is 380 fully comp with girlfriend as named driver. When I was 20 it used to be 1,600 third party on a beamer 1.8.

30's thats well old!!

[SimonK24]

I'm now 24, got the Fabia when I was 22. I pay £370 fully comp for mine.

I am also lucky that all my mates + girlfriend like the Fabia, and don't mind diesels either

[Slamby]

30's thats well old!!

Oi!

[Auric Goldfinger]

What ever age Brimma says don't believe him

[Jim H]

I'm sure there have been polls about how old vRS owners are on here before. You could add one to this thread if you want.

32 and pay about £400 for fully comp insurance with eSure. I've had my car for 4 years.

I'm always jealous when my dad tells me what he pays for his 96 Impreza Turbo. I think it's £250 fully comp per year with Saga.

[Soot1e]

I'm with Saga insurance as well, for both cars £370. The young skinny kids trash me on track now but I have the last laugh these days with a cheapo mortgage and insurances, not forgetting more spare time to enjoy myself. Still only 58.

[foey]

I'm 26, Think I pay around £600 for insurance.

[chrisw880]

I'm 24 don't even have a vRS and I pay to much for insurance, 2 years NCB - £750 TPT&T (Blacklisted Post Code)

My Dad pays £450 on his fully comp, with 20+ years no claims or points (Mitsubishi Colt Space Star 1.3)

[geordie_21]

Im 30 now and got my VRS when I was 28 - took a bit of stick of me pals for owning a Diesel Skoda but they've shut up now! Insurance is about £430 fully comp with all mods declared.
