Well after having bad luck with cars in me first years driving from a crappy ibiza to a baleno to a nova sr finally got it together n purchased what i thought was an imense car and only after loosing it realising how nice it is to drive, heres what i spent me hard earned cash on and to me one of the best i seen if i do say so me self 
56k on the clock all modded as bought, owned by some lad on here who, in the 6months i owned it i LOVED IT! them pics remind me of the fun in the sun summer did around 8k miles in the time i had it alot of cruising and motorway mileage and only thing that ever needed replacing was pads obviously! and discs were warped on the front when i got it but only got it done few months before this..... bonfire nite!! this is what some idiots did to the inside write off without the insurance even wanting to look at it 
had a few quotes from people and they said easily over 1k to get it all back but it would be pointless!! bye bye no claims bonus.
also was few damaged pannel ect, and the twats nicked the pants off it yes thats rite they took the gti grille badge left her cold and naked!!
so now im left with no no-claims bonus and the 1800 back from insurance and back in the position of finding a cheap reliable car i can insure after wanting a 306td only to find STUPIDLY priced over 2k for sregs and over 120k on the clock i ended up looking at SHOCK HORROR saxo vtr looked at 4 purchased on sat havnt even got it insured yet and its already got problems!!! squeeks when slowing down, only got 50k on the clock so its as good as they get but even driving it just feels AWFULL compared to the GTI even with the gti on 18s n lowered 35mill far supperior, although it does feel not alot slower than the gti to 60 but as its so small u feel the speed and the gti was on 18s making it nice n sluggish,
CONCLUSSION. 2kmark u cant beat almera gti.. provided u can afford the higher insurance still alottttt lower than a vts or 106gti quote, and can afford the high petrol consumption which is crap that was the ONLY downfall on wanting to purchase the gti again wastin the extra £££ on insurance then using the rest on petty, LONG LIVE THE GTI!!!

) with 50,000 for £4000...if you ask me, 9,000 miles and a year is NOT worth £2000! lol he's had loads go wrong with it too.
