I had a MK7 ST-Line as my second car, now moved on to the MK8 ST. I can say that a MK8 ST-Line would be a fantastic first car to have. Cheap to tax, cheap to insure, still got enough power to enjoy it. A 17 year old would be very lucky to have one in my opinion👍🏼

100% agree with you mate. Lads would be very fortunate to get one as a first car these days, especially if they compare them with what their parents had as first cars!

@@OLTAUTOMOTIVE exactly! Even some older generation hot hatches don’t have the power the ST-Lines have so it really isn’t a bad car especially for a first. I have to admit driving an ST compared to an ST-line, you really can notice the difference but at the end of the day the ST-lines still have more than enough power to really enjoy the car and the traffic on the roads nowadays you can hardly use all that power anyway 👍🏼

@@OLTAUTOMOTIVE If you do get the opportunity to drive one you should! Would be a good video for the channel I think, especially if someone has driven both the ST-Line and the ST. Driving around London, you probably won't notice much of a difference as having driven both, around town at 20/30mph, they're both as nippy as each other but on an open B road, the difference is night and day. But yeah anyone who lives in London, the ST-Line is more than good enough as on them sort of roads, you don't feel the benefit of the ST at all. 👍🏼

Why couldn’t they? Insurance on these are not expensive at all, and they are cheap enough on monthly finance. I understand people are in different financial situations, but spending £200 or so a month on one of these won’t break the bank.
