Golf me 8 TCR

[fredgroves]

The tcr seemed to have exactly the same gfv as a normal gti, despite its list price being something like 7k more (after they 'bundled' the akra exhaust)

Which is why it offered such poor value to me.

probably why they offered it at 0% finance which in recent years I haven't seen on many VW's let alone performance ones.

It was swings and roundabouts though with that deal. You either got it as a deposit contribution or zero percent, just crazy slight of hand. I had quotes for both options...

I'm sure I got both Fred, not as much deposit contribution as other models but still 👍

Now I know this isn’t very scientific, but I’ve just converted the German price of the gti into pounds. Comes out as £34.3k. Pretty close to uk prices. My point is that I did the same with the CS. Came out as £36.5k. Might be a worthless post but made me think.

My also not very scientific method was to add the price difference between the GTi dsg and the Clubsport in Germany, convert to £ then add to the UK price of the GTi dsg. Came out at £37,352 🤷‍♂️

Nobel prizes for both of us I think! I did the same conversion when the TCR came out. It wasn’t accurate all. Worth a go though.

I reckon by nothing other than dead reckoning it will be 3k on top of the gti Dsg.

And probably another two for the R.

Well I have two options on clubsport price

Ignoring price of Akra exhaust on mk 7.5 TCR, the difference in May 2020 price list was £1660

Option 1: So Mk8 GTI price £34,960 plus £1660 gives £36,620 for Clubsport

Option 2: Alternatively if price of Mk8 against mk7.5 GTI Perf is £1,500 then Clubsport say £36,670

I think it will be in region of £37k

Hopefully won’t be too long as VW Germany had on configurator days after premiere.

Someone figure out why you don´t can the Pretoria an Semi-slicks on the ClubSport?! 

Strange with the same 19" as the standard GTI..

Odd choice of wheels for the CS, 18s and 19s in exactly the same style as the GTI. I mean the 19s look good but doesn't really set the car off as being very different to a normal GTI.

And that YT at the Ring doesn't sound particularly exciting either. I was hoping for good things with the CS...
