Just wondering...

Do you have your own car?

What car is it?

I don't have my own car but my mum very rarely uses her Golf so I get to drive around in that most of the time. We only bought it at christmas and I got to pick the colour and features

Still, it's not officially "my" car though

I'm a car noob, so would you care to say "How good" your car is in a non-arrogant way.

The Golf is fairly shocking. Very smooth drive but the quote on VW's website says 0-62 is 12 seconds. I swear I've done it quicker than that though, at the expense of the engine

These car insurance companies are awful.

Is there a simple one where I can pick a car, tell them my age, and other details and get a quote quickly?

I just want to know "roughly" how much car insurance would be on various different cars.

It's a Volkswagen Golf 1.6 SE Mk4.

Gonna drive this for a couple of years, before I move up to a BMW 3 Series.

You are one lucky git.

That car does 0-60 in under 9.

No it doesn't.

Blast I was thinking of the sport version.

10.8 is still pretty good though.
