Is the Gti under the radar

Interesting. I'd bet it's because if you buy a GTI, your insurance card says "GTI" on it (as mine does), while the GLI is just a trim level, so the insurer classifies it as a Jetta.

As far as i have seen, college kids and teens add to a good chunk of population who owns a GTI. That might also be a reason for the perceived image of GTIs by insurance companies.

You make a good point. The same friends who jokingly refer to my car as "what a rich kid drives in high school" wouldn't say the same if I'd bought a GLI. In this country, hatchbacks aren't considered "grown-up" cars.



If only VW would make a Sportwagen GTI...

I remember my insurance agent telling me my GTI has a higher rate vs my Golf-R. There is no specific designation for the Golf-R's premium so it falls under the regular Golf premium (was cheaper for me) I was told.

I don't remember the last time I got cited for speeding. Not in the last decade or two. I drive spiritedly at times but never abusively. No crazy street racing like some of you folks do.
