It's £935 more for a Mk8 2.0TDi with DSG in Style trim than it was for a Mk7 2.0TDi with DSG in GT Edition trim (list prices).

I'm not saying the Mk8 is amazing value, but let's not forget how expensive the Mk7 became before it went out of production.

Pretty much £30k for a 150bhp DSG diesel, BEFORE options!  :laugh:  :shocked:

That makes my TCR seem cheap!

Have I missed something?  Did you finally bite the bullet?!   :wink:

Edit:  Never mind - just saw your post in "what have you done to your mk7" thread.  Congrats!  Looking forward to reading your comparison of the two.

A lot of the Mk7 middle of the range models were poor value compared to GTI's etc in terms of spec.

You never wanted to try to add things to an R line for example- it would get stupid expensive really quick.

Remember the Mk8's you can see here are middle of the range...

Exactly. From what I can see, by the time you've levelled the specs, the Mk8 isn't that much more expensive.

New Audi A3 Configurator is online. Admittedly the highest BHP and spec is A3 Sportback S Line 150bhp Steptronic  :sad: But just threw the kitchen sink at it spec wise and was genuinely shocked / surprised at the price. it came out at £33,696  rotr before any discounts !!!  :smiley:
I know you will add more with more bhp but even so....👍👍

Don't know if anyone noticed, but the UK configurator for the lowly Mk8's is online and working now too.

Golf 8 R-Line 1.5 eTSI 150PS 7-speed DSG 5 Door with most of the toys is just under 35k....

You can see from the configurator some of the options too - the HUD is £620 which I guess isn't too expensive.

The IQ lights are the killers.

I just looked at the Configurator for Golf Mk8 and configured similar spec to what I have currently on my Golf R.  It came out at £35,896 which is mind blowing for a 150ps Golf R Line when you consider only 3 years ago i bought a full blown fully loaded Golf R Mk7 brand new for the same money.  As Fredgroves states the IQ Lights are extortionate money.    :shocked:

Taking in to account if the car comes standard with certain options which will reduce the price a little in ceetain aspects, I still guess the Golf GTI TCR and Golf R might be pushing £40K easily.
