It's a 68 bhp diesel, it'd be easier insure than a 1.4!

It'd be slower than most 1/1.3 litre petrol cars!

What year is it. I worked in Seat and can't remember seeing too many non turbo Toledos.

As for your answer it's a relative slow car for a young driver, it wouldn't be easily loaded as insurance on a civic would be.

Hah! There doesn't seem to be one...

Maybe it's a Leon?

Why not read his insurance disk?

Exactly, it's a very slow (but tough and fairly economical), very plain old car that isn't seen as a yougfella's type of car so it's more than likely cheaper and easier to insure than many of the small engined japanese cars etc

In my case, insurance was the same for a 1.4i petrol and a 1.9 SDI VW (same engines)

i have seat leon sdi, i got it as my first car, wanted a diesel and as mentioned couldnt get insured on a tdi, but most insurance companies in ireland dont have an sdi listed so my car is actually insured as a seat leon tdi (90bhp) :rolleyes:
its slow enough and you have to plan your passing out manouvers well in advance but other than that a cheap car to run and easily serviced and worked at yourself

was a non turbo toledo i am sure of that

Why are you paying a higher premiuim for something you don't have? Who're you insured with? I wouldn't keep driving with your insurance like that, god forbid an accident they might not pay out. Get it down as an SDI, it would be a nice bit cheaper.

I know the UK had a choice of 130bhp and 150bhp TDIs so maybe they had an SDI version. Or possibly the MK1.

i have a letter from insurance company stating that although on paper im insured under a tdi(90) they acknowledge that my car is in fact sdi etc... prob am paying a small bit more but im 25 now and i did i quote on a 90bhp leon vs a leon fr 150bhp and no difference in price with axa, only company that offically had me insured as sdi was quinn, im now with axa through broker but i think that on axa's own site it has sdi listed

IF he had enough money he'd get insured on a tdi one also.

Did that say 17.2s 0-100 km/h? That thing is slower than a wet week!
Not even Gaybo would have a problem with that.

seems far to slow if it takes 17.2

SV

17.2 seconds...ah jesus.
Nothing on the road should be that slow..unless it can carry 50 people.

I had a 01 Golf SDi for a brief period of time as a company car, you had to plan overtaking manouveres the day before, the thing was that gutless.
