John Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 well if u wanna keep it old skool then get a xr3i but they still not cheap to insure or spend the extra and get a GTI tis strange but the GTI in most cases worked out cheapest for me to insure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
