Will the tax for a mk3 golf GTi 2.0 16v be the same as an Escort GTi?

I know theres been alot of changes recently to taxing so im just double checking, dont want to get a shock tomorrow at the post office

 

I`m pretty sure its the same...

 

if registered before march 1st 2001 (which im assuming both are)

1549cc and under is £115.00 for 12 months and £63.25 for 6 months

over 1549cc is £180.00 12 months and £99.00 for 6 months

I was looking at this last night, what a rip off.

 

awesome, yeah it was 99 last quarter for my Escort, cheers and at the same time for another 100 to drive on some shitty roads

 

180 quid a year to drive a 1.6 shitter

 

insane is not the word

 

yes its the same

 

My wife renewed her Focus 1.6 tax at the end of the month and that was £165 but the old disc was only £150.

Did we really get a 10% increase in one year, or has someone cocked up?

Edited to say thanks to Tabetha and correct my figures - it went up by 10%!!!
How come there wasn't more fuss made by the press and all of us citizens about that?
