Haha dammit I miss out by 3 years there! Insurance is a nightmare until you turn 25, but to be honest I only pay just over £400 now so I'm happy with that. You have a lot to look forward to in 3 yrs time!!! :D

ha ha i can beat that still im only 21 at the moment till august so NER NER NER :D

My insurance isn't that much only 1k i do have my dad on it though :)

"Only" 1K! %$%£%^&**&!

SK2

yeah 1000 fully comp :)

i've been driving since 2004 and had 1 accident too :)

not bad is it? i bet yours is only £150 because your old

Steph xx

Pat i wish my insurance was only £200 i'd be chuffed at that!!

I have gone from a 1litre hyundai amica to my eos

The £200 is better than the BMW I had before used to cost me Steph!

i pay just under $AUD2500.... so roughly the same then

For my EOS fully comp with protected no claims of 20 year I pay £310

My wife's Porsche Cayene Turbo S, she is 43. She is the registered keeper, im the named driver, its £2950, which isnt bad for a £96k car with 24" Gemballa alloys and a tubi exhaust(my mods not the wife's) lol

dont show off its not fair! Hopefully mine will be like that soon :D

Steph xx

few things get better with age ... :(

but car insurance ..is one of them ! :p

well they say life begins at 40 im not sure though what do you lot think?

Steph xx

Not there yet Steph!

Trish

ha ha sorry trish :D

I had to go for diesel last night i had 5 miles on my counter, the petrol station is about 1 mile away i was in the middle of town about 1/2 a mile away and my counter went to 0 i pooped myself but luckily snobbers was a good boy and got me to the petrol station. but get this...

I went to shell on thursday i put in £30.01 i already had 70 miles in my tank and my counter went up to 210 miles.

Yesterday i went to tesco i put in again £30.01 (i can never get it all 00's now since the prices have gone up grr) i had 0 miles in my tank but i got 340 miles!!!!

Now is it my car and it estimated it wrong or is it shell ripping me off??

No it's just your computer using the latest info to work out the current mpg figure to give you what's left. If you were doing 50 mpg when you pulled in you'd get loads of miles but if you had started up from cold and only done a short distance and your computer reckoned you were only doing 20 mpg then you wouldn't get many miles showing at all. It should increase as you drive further and the engine wams up.

I'm due for new insurance, and am being quote £340 approximately fully comp. Now considering I am 25, have been driving 8 years and have 8 years no claims bonus, I think your insurance company might be doing you out of a quid or two?? Or are other (more mature) Eos drivers experiencing the same(ish) renewal insurance figures? Maybe I'm just being quoted a really good deal...? :p or on the contrary, does anyone have any cheaper? :rolleyes:

..got my eos when i was 21, and have now bought a Tiguan @ 24!! woo hoo!!

Eos Owner at 19... Audi convertible owner at 19 years old and 6months :)

Don't spend all your money! Stock market has tanked, and age creeps up on you real fast. Have fun, but put a little aside each month, and you will be able to continue buying toys!

Lopaka:D

As well as or instead of?

The one that parks itself? Does it really do that? Is it a good gadget or do you not really use it? :rolleyes:

aswell...its for the dog! and it does park itself - pretty cool!! wish the eos parked itself!!

when i can, i do use the park assit feature-however as it has to scan the whole parking bay prior, people behind get a little f**ked off as they dont know what your doing.....(probably thinking why cant this a******* park properly). little do they know that im reading the newspaper and the cars parking itself!! haha!!

another good one...

stop a passer by and ask for their helping parking....stick your hands out the window while the car takes over and watch their face!!

Haha

Hahaha yeah that's quite funny! Trying to talk blokey into test driving although his heart is kinda set on the Lexus now I think! :D

i'm not to familiar with the lexus, however i have the 2.0l diesel sport and it's as quite as a petrol..its a great car. if you can test drive it prior to the lexus.

the only bad point, i had to wait 8months for mine, and i think the waiting list is a little over a year now....apart from that its a great mini4x4 (altough i would love a cayenne turbo s as Barchetta)

Hmmm will try to talk him into it. I'm pretty sure he will want to test drive one before making up his mind entirely anyway. It would be the same price as the Lexus he wants except he gets less for his money with the Lexus.

How did you manage to get two brilliant cars by your age??! :eek: (if you don't mind me asking!) :D

....working really hard!! sweat and tears...!! no other way.

i dont think i'll be getting another car anytime sooon tho! (the dog was really messing up the eos!) hence the tig.

i think i got off lightly being over 30 ( just :) ) for my car insurance i manage to covert my existing policy for £100 basicaly £20 a month more for the next 5 months. I have only been driving about 3 or 4 years.

Thats fully comp bells and whistles :) and the husbands on it as well :p
