Favourite quotes...

How the EA888 four-cylinder already presses well under 2000 tours and greedily turns over the 6000 is a bright joy.

As much as the performance shreds, the new brakes and the chassis tuning deserve the greatest praise. They are the main reason for the fun that club sport brings on winding country roads.

I hope the bright joy isn’t part of an optional extra.  :laugh:

No clubsport badges on this variant just confirms for me the ED45 will be the badged up special edition

The lease prices in Germany for the Clubsport are incredible. That’s about £171.

That's nuts, there has to be a massive deposit or something?

Would be interesting to see the personal prices, that is a business lease. Only 6k miles per year too but still probably loads cheaper than UK.

Says 0 deposit on the image.

40k euro car, rent for 2 years for 4.5k.

Even with those wheels and bizarre stripes up the side, that makes little sense.

Aren't the personal lease prices on the vw.De configurator? The monthlies there aren't PCP are they?

A bit of quick online research reveals that some of these dirt cheap German lease deals are heavily subsidised for environmental reasons and for the disabled.  🤷‍♂️
