So after a test drive in a new GTI last week, my order is gone in for Clubsport in Moonstone with winter pack, reverse camera and H/K audio.
I'm keeping the unpopular wheels
as I don't mind them and they won't add to the value come trade in.
Expect it to be ready in March
I'm taking the step into PCP for the first time. While I never thought PCP would be a product I'd ever go for I actually think VW do it well.
The way I understand it is that they aim for you to have a reasonable residual at the end to role over the next time whereas when I enquired about PCP through BMW they said I'd have no equity come end of term so I'd have to save my next deposit while making the PCP payments.
I thought the GTI was great on test drive apart from the buttonless design which is fiddley but has been covered enough at this stage. It'll be a matter of just getting used to it.
If you're going PCP on a DSG GTI, the Clubsport is the only sensible option as the repayments are only marginally higher than the GTI due to the higher GMFV of the Clubsport.
So roll on March
