Quote from: Snoopy on 07 February 2012, 10:04Prices for ALL makes have moved up and on so people who think because of the current climate prices will fall imo are mistaken VW are not going to price it lower than the competition especially with the current exchange rate. Were UK/Europe not USA and until people stop buying cars that will never change.I'll see what price of the new Focus ST is, I think that's going to be great car. I had recently thought about getting a used R or S3 but with less that a few years to go until they are replace, I'm holding onto mine for one more year then I'm outa here....Jim

Mountune offered the 260bhp package on the ST which was warranty covered. Likewise Vauxhall had some warranty performance upgrades on their VXR models. Clearly that tempted all of us out of our current GTI's
