AFAIK in terms of insurance, any 2 door (well...3 door) car is considered a sports car. my first car was a '95 barina city 1.2L 3-door and it was considered a sports car which resulted in me paying a premium over a other 5-door sh*tters on the road. yep, a time-bending 33 flywheel kW "sports car" .
Was showing this to "pologti" we never knew the gti classified as a sports car (came above average compare with some other more expensive cars)
You bought a car not knowing if it was a sports car? It's a turbo, 3 door hot hatch with red callipers, whilst it's not the best handler compared to most real "sports cars" it does better then most under $40K. What you thought you were buying your average shopping trolley? Pretty obvious to me it's a sports car, sports car doesn't need a massive V12 or italian badge to excite and urge us to drive it fast.

what he said. Like a friend of mine with a MCS who was using 91 octane and then had to take it in for service when it started smelling really bad. Boy did she get a shock when she started having to pay for 98
NO.....it doesn't! it has a GTi badge.....not GTI. and don't you dare say there's no difference . i don't want to be put in the same class as a Peugeot 206, Suzuki Swift, Proton Satria etc.

Unfortunately ... your car is and not just because of the badge, but also the price. Hate to say it but they are your competition, just like the new WRX is in the same segment as the GTI I know which I would have ...

I had my head bitten off round before cause some little upstart didn't think there was a difference. There most certainly is a difference.

Polo GTI and Satria is such diff leagues, that the GTI is playing european handball and the satria is playing water polo (yeah I'm high on olympics). The Satria is how old now? A friend has one, he bought it brand new after it sat in a Proton storage yard for 3 years. Doesn't come close to our GTI's. The Swift Sport, is closer to the point but 2 diff price points and rather different performance. The new Pug GTI isn't here yet.
But yes the Golf GTI is in the same segment as the WRX

yeah in know. i'm talking about the lettering on the GTI badge, not so much as the official car class (price range, cylinders etc.), don't read so much into it.... i'm saying i don't want to be associated as a GTi with those cars, because they are petty in comparison.
