They didn't do a 1.8 hatchback except the GTI. The range of engines in the hatchback is:
1.1
1.3
1.5
1.6
1.6 injection (GTI)
1.8 injection (GTI)
Of course you can insure it, but could you afford it? The only way to know is to pick up the phone and get some quotes, but searching around this site would suggest £1000-1500 for first year's insurance, on a lower engine size (1.1 or 1.3) is about the right ballpark figure.

with out it sounding insulting a 1.1 or similar for a 1st car is all you should have, until you no longer need to ask about performance, becuase it might not be a field off sprouts could be a whole lot worse

I am with the majority above, a mk1 golf with a 1.3 in it will be more than quick enough , and would be quicker than any typical first car, saxo, fiesta, corsa etc etc
When i first joined the club one of the guys on here had a 1.1 mk1 tin top and sat behind me at 80 on the motorway no probs and i was in the 1.8 cabby , plus he kept up with me all around town
good luck wiv ya search mate
