GTI 16v insurance group 10????

[Czechboy]

Hiya all,

Just wanted to double check with you guys: Is it true that the 16v 2.0 GTI beeza is only an insurance group 10 car??? I know that the 16v gti "cuprasport" is an ins gr 14, but have read that the GTI is only a group 10. Can anyone confirm this for me.If so, it would mean I could get insured on a 16v rather than an 8v .

Cheers

according to parkers the 16v is 14.

Are you getting confused with the 1.8 16v??

Nope, deffinetly the 2.0 16v. Im SURE i read somewhere that the GTI is a grp 10 and the Cuprasport a 14. It even says on Parkers:

2.0 8v Cupra Sport Gti is Group 11, for reference

As per other posts, the original 2.0 8v GTi (know as GT in insurance co speak) is group 10; 2.0 8v GTe (1994 model year only - basically a higher spec GTi) and 2.0 8v Cupra is group 11; 1.8 16v group 12, 2.0 16v GTi/Cupra is group 14.
