Why is a Cupra road tax £190 a year?

[cu51pra]

the coach will do 10 mpg..........

which is good mpg if you think about it say you have 50 people on the coach doing 1 mile thats still 500 mile to a gallon which ant half bad as 100 cars wouldn't even touch that

 

[ibiza-cupra]

are you sure about the coaches there more like £800 to tax i drive alot of them

ill check in about an hour but im pretty sure im right,had a conversation about it with my manager other week

 

[ibiza-cupra]

i renewed my tax the other day couldnt believe how much it was and wots worse is that they go and waste it all on stupid little speedbumps etc which are totally uneccessary

Well, I finally agot around to using the tax disc I bought (in Feb) for my 205 GTi track car today... to move it ready to do some MOT repairs, so had to move it before declaring SORN....
What a bargain - £96.25 in tax and £150 in insurance for a total of 3 miles in 6 months... Really must find the time to get out and use it properly...

I just got mine but could only afford the 6 months :'( ROBBIN GITS!!

does things like remaps etc change road tax? surely they wont know unless the insurance companys tell em?

 

[andycupra]

robbing *******s,but an rx7 twin turbo they have cheap tax as there a 1.3..............with 300 bhp

yes that's always been a joke, - due to the combustion chamber being a squashed egg shape and they measure the capacity across the width rather than the length.
Its also a less efficient process so the emissions are not great.

over-rated car not fun to drive in my experience. but can be got for silly cheap money, drive it till it needs fixing and scrap it. (if you can afford the petrol in the mean time)

 

[andycupra]

and if anyone is robbing *******s its anyone driving a diesel. another Gordon 'idiot' Brown push for diesels based solely on carbon dioxide with no consideration for all the other crap that diesels give out.

Paris and another 4 major cities are planning to ban all Diesel vehicles in 2 years time! - imagine if London did the same..

 

[SalSheikh]

well, i have a mk2 gti and i'm paying £235! 6 months is £129.25
WTF!!!

 

[CRNeo]

Because racecar....

I'd happily pay Cupra RFL costs, my 2litre Honda is £485 a year due to it's emission rating, fortunately our 1.4 Fr is only £20, a bit of help I suppose.
