    Age of Legnum owners!

    As well as the legnum I have a mk1 clio 1.8 16v I use for track days and have been a regular user to a couple of clio related forums, having looked into the ages of people on the club most of them appear to be under the age of 20 which would be about right for a small hatchback.
    So what age range does the Legnum attract then? I'm 27 and most of my friends have never even heard of a Legnum, never mind thought of buying one!

    Historically, especially when it was a lot newer, I would have thought the average age would have been around 35 or so.

    As the VR-4 is getting much cheaper, we are seeing members somewhat younger joining - and many of the new members probably fall in the band 20-25.

    Why not become a full member of CVR4 and enjoy the additional benefits membership brings?! Information here.

    25, can't understand how anyone younger can afford to insure a VR4?

    27 here and been looking to get a Leggie since I was overtaken by one around 6 or 7 years ago!

    Looking to get my 2nd VR4 shortly... My first one was short lived
    1997 Mitsubishi RVR HSGR : 2.0 4G63T, 4 seats and the seating position from a truck
    2009 Ford Mondeo : 2.2TDCi, 4 wheels, some plastics, some metal and some seats

    I was 21 when I brought mine, and the insurance for it was cheaper than the vtec integra I had before

    Go figure a 280bhp 2.5 v6 twin turbo is cheaper to insure than a 170bhp 1.8 n/a vtec!!!!

    I think it has more to do with the fact that the Honda is more likely to be stolen, hence the higher premium.

    For example, in South Africa it's more expensive to insure a CitiGolf than it is a fully imported Renault sedan for this reason.
